Default Corvette Engine Swap

I have a 2008 GMC Sierra crew cab 4X4 W/5.3

Looked but did not find any info.

I was wondering about swapping in a later 6.2 from a Corvette. Is it as easy as changing the accessories and a tune?

Wham bamm thank ya maam. Pull out 5.3 stuff in 6.2 with all of your accessories and oil pan and exh manifolds from the truck tune it and call it a day. simple as pie.

Save your money on a "corvette 6.2" Find you a pull out from a denali or escalade or a 6.2 NHT max truck save a little money and slam it in. They are the exact same motor.

Twere me I'd do a shift kit and servos in it drive it till it pukes then handle trans at that time.

For that matter do a harness swap later on down the road when and if it dies and stick a 6L80 or 90 behind it and call her done.

The truck has the 4L60E. My BIL has access to a 2010 Corvette engine. It's supposed to be replaced under warranty. All I need to is provide a LS core.
