6.0 Crank same as 5.7?? Hi guy's
I am confused,
I had read that the cranks in the 2001 and newer
6.0 LS1's are the same as the cranks in the 5.7 LS1.
I checked at the GM dealer and the part #'s are different.
Can anybody assure me 110% that the crank in a 2001
6.0L engine is the same as the crank in a 5.7L from a
f-body?? Will the flywheel bolt up without
any problems?
I have the chance to by a 6.0L shortblock
but if the crank is different it doesn't make sense.
Thanks in advance,
Dave

Re: 6.0 Crank same as 5.7?? the 5.7 and 6.0 have the same stroke<3.622> and the same rod length<6.098>, however i dont know if they use a different crankshaft. i dont see any reason why they would. i know that the crank from a 1999 6.0 is toatally different than all of the ls1 based engines, but was changed for 2000.

Re: 6.0 Crank same as 5.7?? The balancing will diff. as well as the rear flange where the flywheel bolts on; same bolt pattern but spaced back about 1 inch more on the 6.0 crank!!
