You will pull the 5.3 and put the intake, balancer, pump and all of the front accessories on the 6.0L.
The swap is pretty easy and everything will bolt right up. No extra parts are needed.
The 5.3 may run ok, but may have some hesitation and not run like it will unless you get the pcm tuned.
You'll need antifreeze, coolant and a filter.


good luck and keep us updated,

I'm also considering the swap. I assume to buy a 6.0 motor from GM direct is a PITA and expensive. Any other suggestions? I would love to be able to have a built 6.0 vs a 5.3 (for high psi radix app's), then bore the heck out of the 6.0

Also, what to go with...There are so many designation I do not know what they are for. LQ9? Is that out of a Caddie? Whats the other, LM7? If someone would mind explaining the differences too I would be MUCHO appreciative.

Thanks!
