I just want to confirm. It's an 05 6.0, you just need to remove the flexplate and spacer then bolt on the ls1 flexplate right?

Its for a buddy. I did the easier route, i just wasn't 100% sure on this lol.

 

Anyone? I see people looking but no responses

 

i bolted up my 60e to my 6.0 and all i did was the flexplate from my 5.3, i think. I dont remember using the spacer. The 6.0 was from a 2001

 

that's what I thought. I believe the 99 or 00 6.0's were the longer cranks. Anyone else with some info?

 

ya i know that the 99-00 wont bolt up without something, but its been 4 years so i forget haha

 

lol, same here. It's been 2yrs since I researched my 80e swap.

 

99-00 6.0 had a longer crank and can not be used with a standard 4L60E with out getting a custom made torque converter. A 6.0 from 2001 up will bolt right up by removing the 6.0 fly wheel and spacer with longer bolts and using the fly wheel from the 4.8/5.3 or a 5.7 fly wheel and bolts.

HTH

 

99-00 are indeed the longer crank. if its an 05 just take the flexplate from the 4.8 or 5.3 and leave the spacer out of it. it'll be easy to tell if you did it wrong, the 4l60e wont even kinda line up. the flexplate you need to use should have a dip in the middle where it bolts to the crank.

 

If your buddy plans on keeping the 60e setup, I would look into an SFI flexplate..I have seen a few higher rpm higher tq stock flexplates crack the welds where the ring gear welds onto...including mine and a few buddies..

The SFI plate from PATC is only $75...its thicker double sided welded and well worth the extra insurance

 

just check the flexplate if it a 05 it should be the same because must 6.0 came bolted up 4l65e
