LQ9 is very underated at 300hp,with a cam and headers it should make about 330rwhp.Add the Whipple and you are at 400+rwhp.

You only want a 01 or newer 6.0 so the transmission will boltup.If the 6.0 came with a 4L80E transmission you remove the flywheel and spacer and bolt on your flywheel to make everything line up.
