I am pretty sure any LS based 6.0l will fit and all you would need is a tune. I may be wrong and I am sure someone on here will have the correct answer. Try farmtruc
go for a 2002+ 6L so that you don't get the older model that had cast iron heads or longer crankshaft extension, allowing you to bolt it directly to your current transmission. You will need to swap your intake over to the 6L since it will have all things required to work with your current setup. Yes, a tune is a must have item.
