Oil pan should swap right over, and just swap your intake off the 5.3 as well. Then your cable throttle body will bolt right up. That's the only difference. Make sure you use your old harness and PCM.

Good idea, cheap insurance. That's what I did.

I believe you can, but the DBW intakes don't have the brass inserts pressed in for the throttle cable bracket to bolt to.
