What year/model is the 6.0L out of? If it is out of a 1999-2006 it should have the knock sensor in the valley. As for swapping long blocks, the only things needed for the swap are:

1. Drill & Tap boss for alternator
2. Swap flexplate for F-Body flexplate/flywheel

That should be it, as everything else will bolt-on. Since you have a 1998, I would highly suggest that you swap in an LS6 intake now, while you can. That 6.0L is going to need it, or at least put it to very good use.
