    07’ LMG swap to 08’ LS2

    The 5.3 LMG in my 07’ Tahoe is about dead. I want to swap it with 6.0 LS2 from a 08’ Trailblazer SS. The LS2 comes with the wiring harness and ECU. No VVT on either but the 5.3 has DOD and the 6.0 does not. Is this a plug and play with a small tune kind of swap? It’s my first swap and and all...
