Broke the crank at first main on my 5.2. Droped in a 5.9 from a 2001.
Wacked
off a chunk of the flywheel opposite the bob weight on the original
flexplate with my end mill. The 5.9 is externally balanced and the 5.2 is
internally balanced. Used the 5.2 standard ECM and used the original
injectors from the 5.9 by modifying the wiring harness. Worked perfectly
and
increased fuel economy by almost 2 mpg. As a side benefit, the truck
really
woke up. Goes like hell.
