WTB: Stock 5.3 Chevrolet crankshaft
 

Since I'm really having little luck with finding some good stock LS1 5.7 pistons and rods, anyone know where a good no-work-needed 5.3 LS crankshaft is at for sale? I have one, but it spun at least one rod bearing and I don't want to turn it....I may wind up doing that, but if it can be avoided I will avoid it....

Let me know,

Just an FYI the 5.3,5.7,and 6.0 have the same crank

Some claim that they all interchange, others say they don't. The counterweights on the 6.0 crank are different and lighter than the ones from a 5.3 or a 5.7 due to the 6.0 having a heavier set of rods/pistons. The reluctor wheel is the same, though. The 5.7 is also a lighter crank since it is gun-drilled

I already have a 5.7 crank from a 60k mile 2002 WS6, but would rather keep it and use it on the next build. I guess if I can't find one I will just take my 5.3 crank to the machine shop and get it turned.
