what in the world motor do I have

So I recently purchased what I assumed to be a iron lq4, but now tearing into it I think I have something else. it is an iron block has 6.0 on it, flat top pistons, 24x reluctor but has a front cam sensor... I am hoping to be able to use my accessories, wiring and computer off of my donor 2002 5.3.
any help is appreciated thanks.

You probably have an LQ9. Which is gen III with front cam sensor, 24x, valley knock sensors.

If it's a LQ9 then it would be 2002 to 2007.

As far as the casting number goes, get a blank sheet of white paper and a #2 pencil. Place the paper over the casting number and scribble back and forth (fairly lightly) over the casting number.

The number should become visible on the paper.
