Well I ran into a snag, the LS3 crank sprocket (12556582) does not touch the key way (too short) on the crank. It will just spin, the factory one is to long because it hits the LS3 timing cover. The spacer from SPDC says " Do not use with LS9".

I wonder if I have to pin the crank all the way back?

I figured this out. Search for ls9 airboat. I took the crankshaft out and had it machined and re balanced everything.
