Default Pontiac GTO LS6 into a silverado?

I have a friend trying to sell me a 6.0 out of a GTO. Says its an LS6 engine. Anyone know if this would work in my Silverado 5.3 to 6.0 swap?

An ls6 is a 5.7 .. A ls2 is a 6.0

It would work just fine either one

In 2004 the GTO had the LS1 5.7 and in 05-06 they had the LS2 6.0... but never had the LS6...

Ok. Thank you fellas.. I just sent him a e-mail asking him just what he has. lol If it is an LS2 6.0 that won't swap in a Silverado will it? I seem to remember reading that an LS2 6.0 won't work with the 5.3L set up..

ls2 will slip right in. you will need to buy the harness for the knock sensors which is no big deal.
