I wouldnt. The code basically means the MAF isnt working, so you are basically just using the VE table, and since you are using the 4.8 pcm still its not calibrated to the 6.0 and the numbers will be way off.

You may be able to drive it and have the trims help some, but its still a bit risky. Worst case is you run lean and blow it up...
