Default Ls1 To Ls6

Hey guys..

Im thinking about swapping my ls1 for an ls6..

I have a 2000 z28.. I was wondering if I would need a new wiring harness, or need a new computer?

I got a REALLY good deal on a low mileage ls6.....

I just want to make sure its nothing more than plug and play....

Also will all the parts on my ls1 swap over to the ls6 (Acc. and such.) also fuel injectors and what not!

Thanks in advance!
