LQ4 Tank

Been a while since I've been in, held up with work and school, but have a new project on the horizon! My buddy's got a 2011 Silverado with the 5.3/6L80, turbo'd as well. Motor had a lean spike and broke something and we're exploring our options while the truck's down.. Has anyone swapped an older 6.0 into an NNBS truck? I've searched forums and can't seem to find anything exact on this. I know the reluctor wheels are different along with knock sensor placement, so what else can hold the swap up? The 6.0 will be built so the reluctor wheel will be swapped in the process, but I wanna weigh the pro's and con's first. Thanks!

why dont yall just get an ly6,l76, or even an l92 and mod it . they came in the nnbs so no need to move sensors/wiring connections

Cost reasons, haha, I did think about it but I can find a 3rd gen. 6.0 for cheap cheap, I'm not too familiar with newer 6.0's

Youll spend twice as much rigging a gen3 into a nnbs and not to mention they are weaker internally and block wise

interesting, unrelated I have a 2005 6.0 lq4 with 150k and want power. i want to explore swapping the lq9 intake, get offset rockers and other items. has anyone done this? will the increased compression blow oil?
