Same size/bolt holes, etc...Yes.
Yeah, you can use teh truck computer, not that familiar with them, so not sure how tuneable they are (maybe the same, maybe not, again, I don't know) and maybe someone will chime in and tell you for sure teh differences in teh computer's between teh truck and the cars (maybe nothing, hell I don't know)
But, they are teh same size though..

Here is a great article on 6.0 engine mods that make some healthy power.

6.0L in an S-10 w/ LS2 top end, like this? 
Forget the LS2 intake, save your money, it sucks!!! Get the FAST if you can, I loved it!!!! Or an LS6 as a 2nd option.
I did have the #799 LS2 heads, those or the #243s will work nicely..

Notice I also upgraded to the"Mobil 1" oil filter cap from the old yellow truck one......
Anyways...There is a company who makes plug and play wiring harnesses, all the stock gauges will work in the truck, if your looking still. There are also oil pans and A/C systems that acan work without any notcing of the frame now.
