What are the limitations reguarding an engine swap? I have an 05 Yukon XL with the 5.3l Vortec and 4 speed transmission. I want to replace that with the 6.2l Ecotec engine with 8 speed transmission from the new Denalis. Is this possible?

Smog laws are the biggest limitation. To be legal you have to swap everything including the smog equipment, computer, wiring etc. Not worth it unless you are really, really good at this stuff but if you were you would not be asking ;)
