Default New to LS

Hello guys just wanted to introduce myself. I live in Houston and this is going to be my first LS swap. I have a 1993 Chevy Silverado Extended Cab and I just bought an LS engine out a 2000 Chevy Silverado. I am pretty hand with a wrench and a mig welder, (I work for NOV as a field service tech), but this is going to be my first engine swap. So any tips, tricks, and advice would be greatly appreciated. I got the motor, tranny, computer, and harness already. I want to swap the intake for a 6.0 intake off of a 2005 2500 HD GMC Sierra. Will this work? I also, plan on adding a turbo down the line.
