No problems, all the external dimensions are identical even on the car motors. Gotta love GM for that!
Only possible issue would be if you found a 99 model 6.0L motor. They had a slightly different crankshaft flywheel mount that was thicker ( by about 0.200" or so ). It can cause issues mounting the tranny.
Moneywise, the 6.0L motors are getting harder to find great deals on but with patience and looking you can get a motor/tranny for around $2000 on up.
Have fun, let us know what you decide!
