Default 5.3 to 6.0

Ok guys I have a 2000 Silverado Z71 that has a 5.3 that is worthless. It has 275k miles on it. So I want to swap a 6.0 in to it. I understand that I can use my existing PCM is this true? how about my wireing harness? and would it bolt right in and to my tranny?

Thanks,
Steven

fits exactly the same, make sure you have the right injector pigtails, and a similar year motor if you wanna make it really easy

Both of my motors are 2005 (5.3 LM7 & 6.0 LQ4).

I heard that i have to get a motor that has the 24x reluctor wheel (black crank sensor) so that it works right. any truth behind this theory?

Fits exactly the same, some of the sensors will be diff and you will deff need a tune but overall should work real good.
