high mileage 6.0 swap, is it worth it?

i have access to a 2001 6.0 out of a 2500 silverado, its got like 160k miles, worth swapping over to my 2000 sierra with a 4.8 and 150k? or should i keep looking for a lower mileage 6.0?

If the price is right,get it. We got an 03 at work with 175,xxx of pure hell.We used it as the trouble truck when we are on call (power company).It still runs damn good and dont use oil.

I think the 99-00 had iron unless it was an early 2001.I bought an iron headed 6.0 the other day for 200 bucks, no oil pressure FWIW.
