well if the tranny wont work with that block, will the 4l80e tranny work?

crank length.....could i just swap a later model crank into it?

what would be the best year 6.0 liter to get?

originally i was gonna buy an 02 6.0 bare block with crank,pickup tube,truck oil pan for 250.00 i priced the rebuild kit for 950.00 and totalled about 1200.00 MINUS heads, intake, cam, etc.

the 6.0 i bought was 500.00 plus rebuild kit for 950.00 so totals 1450.00 and INCLUDES heads, cam, intake, etc.

the motor is complete with coilpacks and everything so i figured i'm saving money in the end, plus i listened to it run for 20 minutes after not being started for a few week and it ran good.
i know the 4l60 needs spacers to mount to the 6.0 block and the 4l60 is identical to the 700r4 so whats the reason it wont mount?
