Default Engine swap

My 6.0L died and I’m looking into replacing it. The questions I have are…

Does a 6.2L fit ?

Does it matter if the engine was in a automatic transmission going into a manual?

it will fit. auto or manual doesn’t matter for fitment. prioritize manual if going 6.2 to avoid dod/afm and less power. things can be deleted though if you find a deal on an L99

Do a search on the forums. Several people have done this and also swapped to the LS7. It can be done.

... just make sure its not an 05 LS2... totally different crank and probably cam sensors.

24x vs 58x for example..
