The older model 6.0 cranks are longer i believe.
The newer 6.0's require a flexplate spacer to run a 80e.

Any particular reason your looking for that particular crank instead of a newer model?

Ok, gotcha. Call up Synergy Motorsports or PM Rick@synergy
510-796-3749 I believe Rick had a couple of them unless they have sold recently.

Good luck,
Derek

Just take it to your local machine shop. They can put it in their crank grinding machine and make it a short end in about 15 minutes. I have done some like this. Worked for me.

Default cranks

I believe 5.3, ls1, and 6.0s all use the same crank except for the early 6.0 cranks like you have. I think you could get a crank out of any one of them and it should work.

I also like the machine shop idea too and it shouldn't cost much.

5.3 & 5.7 cranks are the same casting # but are balanced different for the smaller pistons. You usually have to add 30-50 grams to the couterweight to use them as 6.0's
