2000 Yukon Denali Eng Swap Help

[PJiv]

Not owing the possible conflicts, I purchased a 2009 5.7 Vortec to replace my 2000 5.7 Vortex. It appears to me after researching the issue àfter the fact that this isn't going to be a plug and play swap. Could someone please tell me what I'm going to need to do to make this work? Thank you for any and all help.

@OR VietVet may be able to provide some pointers to you. You are looking at a GMT400 platform versus a GMT900 platform.

Are you sure that the 2009 motor is a 5.7? I thought that the 5.7 was long gone by then and replaced with the 5.3.

I am not at home right now but @Joseph Garcia is correct, no 5.7 Vortec engine in 2009. If there is, I am unaware of it.

Turns out there was a 5.7 engine option for the Yukon Denali in 2000 but none of the Yukon XL's had the option. There is no such thing as a 2009 5.7 Vortec engine.

Maybe @PJiv meant a 1999 5.7 Vortec?

Ok. Please accept my apologies for things I've got wrong or misunderstood. That's why I'm hear... To educate myself and others(by showing what NOT to do). I will do my best to correct my mistake with some guidance.

That being said......

The engine I purchased was represented as a 5.7 Vortex. The motor currently in my 2000 Yukon Denali is a stock 5.7 Vortec which is original to the vehicle.
The new engine has a stamp on the block of 14093688. My uneducated interpretation of that was a date of manufacture of January 4, 2009. Am I wrong on that?
I'll be going to work on it this evening and if there are stamps or codes I should post, please lmk where they should be and I will post photos what is needed for people to help me out.
Thanks again to everyone willing to help me and I apologize for my ignorance on the topic but I'm working towards gaining knowledge and learning what I can.
