Default 6.0 swap

Any body know where to buy a custom converter needed to swap in a 2000 long snout crank 6.0. the truck is a 02 5.3 4l60. The Problem is the rear of the crank sticks out a lot further on the 2000 6.0 than the 5.3, looks like the only solution is a custom converter. Thanks for any help!

Also found this:
you can run a 60e behind it.. just drill the 80e flexplate to the 3 bolt 60e pattern and do not use the spacer.

Maybe contact tci about this part.

Is there a certain year of 4L80 flywheel you have to use?

So does this have to be done to any 6.0 swap you do? I have a 2000 1500 with a 5.3 and i'm planning on swapping in a 6.0 out of a 2005.

No problem on a 05, as it doesn't have the long snout crank. It's just the early years like 99 and 2000 from what I have found so far.
