Default LS7 crank, will it fit?

Anyone know if the LS7 crank would fit the gen III block if the reluctor wheel is changed out to the one on my 6.0? Or if the reluctor wheel can even be swapped??? Reason I ask is that the LS7 crank seems to be cheaper than the aftermarket ones at sdpc http://www.sdparts.com/product/12568...rankshaft.aspx

The LS7 crank snout is longer (for dry sump)... so , no, it will not work without it being machined. GMPP now has a forged 4" crank setup for standard wet sump applications (standard crank snout length)... 19171619. Using either crank without the LS7 Ti rods and pistons requires a rebalance. Both have the 58x reluctor wheel already installed. Yes, the reluctor wheel can be removed and a 24x reluctor wheel installed (with a special alignment tool).
