4.8 has a shorter stroke than the 5.3, 5.7 and 6.0. THe other 3 motors all have the same stroke, but are not the same crank. They all are different parts to balance with the different pistns. The rod length on the bigger 3 motors are the same as well, but the 4.8 has a different size rod.

Yes, but would need to be rebalanced.

I think I know what your getting at, and it would be cheaper and easier to go with a 2001+ motor than make a pre 2001 6.0 work unless you are just being given the 6.0

Depending on the scratch depth you could have the 2002 block bored out +0.030, 0.040, or even 0.060". Lots of piston/ring kits available for the 6.0L overbore sizes or even go all out with a full rotating assembly for your "new" 408 ci stroker! Checkbook will be the final decider...
