Iron 6.0L would be basically a direct replacement for you. Shane

The drivers side front of the block is missing two tapped holes, one can be added. Not sure if your TBSS even needs these. If the block is older the head bolts will be a different length. The cam sensor from the LS2 can be added on the iron block and should work with a few minor differences.
