The question I am trying to get figured out is if a 6.0 will bolt up to my manual 5 speed transmission. Thanks in advance

Yes. Flywheel and clutch from 4.8 5speed truck.

I'd like to do a minor write-up on what it takes right down to part numbers for 5speed trucks and DBW conversion and get it added to the main sticky. I really doubt it'd help, but it's worth a shot.

that sounds awesome, but nobody'd look or search for it

What year clutch and flywheel do I need to get for my truck? I know I need a 4.8l clutch and flywheel, but what year do I need to get? Truck is a 05 4.3 and going in is a 99 5.3

[Frenchy]

01+

just make sure to match your slave to whichever style clutch line you have. the 05 truck should have the slave with a roll pin. the 99-01 setup has the quick-connect at the slave.

So then I should get an 05 4.8 clutch and flywheel?

01+ Clutch and flywheel are the same up to 05. (No v8 5speeds in 06). He's talking about your throwout bearing and slave cylinder. Match those/
