5.3 into a 1990 OBS with a 5 speed

[99kon]

Just picked up the last 4.8 flywheel in Houston from O Riley's.

Ok
2 things
I had to take the line up pins on the flywheel off in order for the pressure plate to sit right. Holes line up no problems there. Or is there?
Your thoughts

The pilot bearing is loose on my crank. Enough for me to know that it's not right. Any way I can get a shim and wrap the bearing in it or look for a bigger one? My motor is a 6.0 so that might be the difference.

Tell what kind of flywheel, pilot bearing, and pressure plate/clutch disc do you have? you got 5.3l written in the title
Im sorry i didnt know you went with a 6.0l its gonna be different. gotta get a car/ls1 pilot bearing. make sure ur input shaft measures 1-1/8 10 spline. and that the clutch diameter is a 11 7/8 in.

That was the original plan to put a 5.3 in it while I built the 6.0.
But fuck it might as well just go with the 6.0 and buy parts here and there. I'll measure the input shaft and the clutch tomorrow. Everything is at my dads house. I hate not having enough room.

If all of this is for the 4.8/5.3, then you will need a LQ9(6.0l) pilot bearing. How does the pressure plate fit on the flywheel? does it look uniform or ? what size (diameter) clutch is it? 11 inch or 12 inch. But you havent changed transmissions? still have the nv3500, right? I went on Centerforces' website and really the only diff is pilot bearing and PP/disc diameter from 11-7/8 to 12 inch. no need to measure as long as you havent changed on me again! lol good luck! and stay on it this time and get it done so we can race!!

also depending on what year 6.0l you have, you might need a spacer so that you have good clearance between the flywheel/starter and that the clutch releases properly. some 6.0l dont stick out as far as others

99/2000 vs later, correct?

Mine is an 05 model 6.0 LQ4
Does this one need the spacer?
