Can a 5.3 intake be used on a 6.0?

Yep, all truck engines used the same intake manifold, generally, from 99-06'. 07'-up are a bit different. There are small differences, like mounting bosses for covers, returnless vs return fuel system, EGR, etc, over the years, but they are generally interchangeable.

So are you saying a 99-99-06 intake won't fit a 07 and newer engine? I got an 2002 5.3 for my swap but planning to up grade later to a 6.0 just want to know my options.

And thanks for your help

99-06' will fit 07'-up with Cathredral port heads. If the later 6.0 has rectangle ports, you'll need to use the newer intake.
