I'm curious about this also...
From memory, my '98 did not have a manual option for the 5.9... only the 5.2 and 3.9.
The 5.2 and 5.9 flex-plates are different due to the internal/external balance method differing between the two engines.
This should mean a different flywheel is needed, correct.
Having a 5.2 manual, I need to be cognoscente of what is needed should I do a 408 stroker (5.9 block), rather than a 390 stroker from my existing block.

No the 1500 5.2 and a few of those bastard v6s had the nv3500. Which is good trans. That is underrated in how strong it is.
The 2500 gassed v8 5.9 had the nv4500 "light duty"
Most all of the diesels and v10s had had the nv4500 "heavy duty" with a stronger mainshaft and bigger input shaft.
Select 5.9 Cummins HO had the nv5600 6 speed. Such as Jigs. Which has an integrated bellhousing and cannot be mated up to a small block at all.
