Default Changing from 5.7 to 6.0

I have a engine knock. I'm thinking about swaping to a 6.0 liter motor. What would I have to change for the swap?? I heard I have to drill and tap a hole to mount the altenator. Are the motor mounts and oil pans interchangable. I would upgrade the rod bolts/reuse my ported oil pump.

I'm thinking of reusing my TEA stage two 5.3 liter heads and my F13 cam. They have 2.02/1.57 valves. Would I have to open up the chambers for the bigger bore.

Or a TREX cam with the stock 6.0 heads.

What do you guys think??

I'm pretty sure the 6.0l is a direct swap besides the alternator...personally i'd go with the 6.0l heads and the fm13 cam...

I'm gonna run the stock 6.0 heads with a trex or juggernaut cam.
