its easy to do all you need is a 6.0 long block and everything will crossover from the 4.8. i did the swap back in nov. 2009 as far as a cam everyone has a different opinion on whats good for daily driving. you will also need a tune.

I wouldnt use the same heads as the 4.8 as the intake and exhaust valves are smaller. However you can find a junkyard 6.0 for relatively cheap and swap it right over
