It depends what 6.0 you get. LS2 requires a few tweaks. LQ4/LQ9 is pretty much bolt in but peripherals need to be interchanged

Quick test because 06/07 were transition years

Smooth flat timing cover like your LS1 had is a direct swap. Just drill/tap the alt bracket boss

Cam sensor up front or VVT thing requires the tweaks a LS2 would require because of the conversion from GEN III to GEN IV. Also check the crank reluctor. 24x works fine with your stock PCM, 58x requires a conversion box or custom harness with the newer PCM

An 06 yukon has a 5.3 not 6.0. If its a Denali then it has a 6.0 lq9
