t56 to gen 4 block i remember seeing a thread where a guy was trying to bolt up a t56 to an ls3 which is a gen 4 block, and ran into problems since the ls3 was designed for a tr6060 to bolt up. i recently acquired an ERL 427 using a gen 4 5.3.....will i be able to use my fbody bell and fbody t56 and bolt it right up?

As long as it isn't an early long truck crank, a 6 bolt Gen III is the same as a 6 bolt Gen IV. The GTO used the same T56 behind LS1 and LS2.

That’s true, I was thinking about it in terms of how it came from the factory instead of it having an aftermarket crank in it. Makes me wonder which one the majority of the aftermarket cranks use.
