Roger, I'm not sure what you are asking, but the simple answer is no. When you say C5 to C6, you are talking LS1, LS6, LS7, LS3, LS9 etc.. Some of them are similar but can have different manufactures. What are you trying to do? Give the detail and we might be able to tell you if it would work or not.

Well I want to buy a stock crank pulley balancer for my LS1 and was wondering if LS2 or LS3 crank balancers are the same?

Roger,

Balancer
12560115 LS1 and LS6
12598831 LS2
12599862 LS7
12620556 LS3

Balancer Retaining Bolt
12557840 LS1, LS2, LS3 and LS6
11570163 LS7

With that said, I would go with an underdrive after market if it were mine. JMTCW

Thanks for the help. I already have underdrive pulley that im trying to sell http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c5-p...ve-pulley.html

I just want to know if the LS1 crank balancer shares the same dimensions as LS2 or an LS3.

All aside from the LS7 are interchangeable. One underdrive part number covers LS1/6/2/3 Vettes.
