Default 6.0 Swap Question

Can somebody direct me to where I can find all the necessary conversion parts/harnesses/etc for an LS1 to 6.0 swap? I would prefer to buy everything as a kit, but if I have a list I don't mind piecing the parts together.

The search function didn't help, and I'm not a newb. Nor did Google return any real results. Thanks for any help

If it is a gen III block then everything from your previous motor will swap right over. The only difference is the alternator bracket only has 2 holes when the aluminum block had 3. You can either go with 2 bolt holes or drill and tap a 3rd if you want.

I was under the impression that some of the sensors were different and/or in different locations, thus needing extensions or adaptors. If that's wrong then I'm a happy camper

You only need to switch sensors if you go to the newer generation block.
