You need to change the torque converter. The 6.0L converter won't bolt to your flex plate.

It's going to shift a bit firm. The 6.0L trans has more clutch plates than the 5.4L version. If you're OK with firmer shifts it will work fine.

If you change the computers, you'll have a computer for a 6.0L diesel trying to run a 5.4L gas engine. That won't go well. Don't change the computers!
