Default 5.3 and the 6.0 what is the difference

Ok. I spent an hour and a half looking. Either I did not type the right words, or I'm blind. I have a 5.3 in my Sonoma. I of course have the wiring and computer. Now of course I wanna goto the 6.0. Can I just buy the motor and use the wiring and cpu from the 5.3 and reprogram the computer for the 6.0, or do I need to get the 6.0 wiring and cpu...?


Please help...
