Default LS1 LS6 Swap

Has anyone gone through the LS1, LS6 swap? I picked up a low mileage 04 LS6 crate motor that I'd like to put into my 00 FRC. Is it a simple plug and play, with the exception of the ECU. Or are there other piece/parts I need to swap? There's nothing wrong with my LS1, it just seemed like a cheap way to pick up an extra 60 HP. I already have BBK SS shorties, an 80 mm TB and an aluminum flywheel. Thoughts?

TIA,

Mick
