Default Long crank lq? Clutch/slave gapping wrong

Long story short swapping a 6.0 into my firebird, measured my gaps and the problem is on the clutch side. B is greater than A. Just hit me it might be the crank, I bought it as a short block guy said it was a 03 but no heads and I can't read the castings. I'll post pictures to see but I'm pretty positive. Can I just swap a short crank in if this is the wrong one?
