You can reuse the crank and the rods but you will need to get new pistons and rings. The 6.0L has a bigger bore than the LS1. Depending on how much you open the bore on the 6.0 block you could have anywhere from a 402ci to a 418ci motor.

sounds interesting. I was asking because i have a friend who wants an aluminum block for the weight advantage, and he has a 6.0 iron block. Wanted to trade a while ago, but i think i will stick with my block, fireball took a alum. block to over 1200 horse, adn im not gonna be anywhere near that for a while, but thanks to both of you for responding.
