The reason they offer different thicknesses is the mating at the crank is off from one engine and crank to another as is the stack up of flywheel, clutch pressure plate. Dial indicate measure the crank flange face to the back of the block. Now dial indicate measure from the throw out bearing to the bell housing face. That make up is the stack thickness you're looking for.... flywheel, pressure plate thickness and clutch. For instance... My Flywheel thickness crank mounting to clutch face measures .800 ...you'll find these all over the range.

The 0.4" thicker is used in trucks with manual trans. It can also be used on the LS block when mating it to an earlier gen manual trans (Muncie, T10, TKO, Richmond, etc).
