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.
