I asked a similar question...My question was what covers work on a 98 LS1 and here is the answer I got.
You can use the front cover, valley cover, rear cover from the 5.3 as long as its from 06 and prior years with no problem. Same thing for 6.0 or 4.8. You cannot use his fuel rails or injectors unless you use his intake as the truck intake, rails, and injectors are completely different. You can use the rockers as well and the valve covers, and all the sensors possibly besides the oil pressure sending unit and the MAP sensor. Everything else is the same.
"It sounds like as long as your 6.0 is an 06 or older engine then they are the same."
