Default Question: LS9 damper
Do anyone know if the ls9 stock damper fits Ls6?
I have a LS9 engine in our workshop and it looks like it will fit.
And its 11ribs

But I dont want to take the damper of the ls9 just to check if it fits.

The LS9 crank snout is longer than the LS6. I don't know if that would affect dampener fit or not but I'd guess it would.

Keep in mind that the LS9 harmonic balancer is tuned to a different frequency than other LS units.
