Default 6.0 TB on a 5.3 stock intake?

I just got a TB from a buddy which came off of a 2007 Tahoe with a 6.0. My question is will this work on a 5.3 LM7 intake? Anyone know how big the throttle body is? Im sure if they make an adapter plate for it that I would have to change out the TPS sensor and so forth, just dont wanna waste time with it if it wont work. Thanks in advance.

If it is a 3 bolt TB yes it will. If it is a 4 bolt no it will not. You will need a adapter, also a wire harness adapter for the plug.
