Engine Replacement Types, Need advice from pros!

Hello!, i want to start by saying its wonderful to be a part of this community if only i knew such a forum existed before, ive been going through topics and learning quite a bit.

Down to the question!. I've recently purchashed a 2006 yukon denali and ive been trying to restore it back to full health!. My heart lies in this model / shape. before they changed it in 2007 and again somewhere recently. Anyways, I would like to replace the engine, Its done +285,000 Kms & its slowly slipping away. All i know is its a 6.0Liter V8 VIN U Engine.

What i'm confused is, What kind of engine is it? Is it an Lq4?, An LS Engine?, Gen 3 or 4?. is the Cubic measurements 364?. Any other ideas of what upgrades i could get? or what i can fit in a 2006 Yukon Denali?.

If so i would like to import an engine any recommended good places you guys have done engine replacements, I would like a remanufactured engine and transmission since the tranny is also died twice. Could anybody tell me a good place i can order and buy and if they'll ship internationally?. I currently live in Dubai. Or if there are companies that can pick up an engine in a crate or container and deliver it to me. I'm so lost on this. I would really appreciate it if somebody could teach me, i'd be so grateful i'll send you a goodie basket even really!.

Thank you very much in advance!.

I'll send some pics of the car and the work i've already put in to it.

Ohhh wonderful thank you so much Chris! Now I've added something more to the knowledge pool!. Any idea a good reliable company that remanufactures engines and can ship an engine worldwide?. My trust is in the community and not misleading reviews obviously from people with first hand experiences!.

First off, dubai is awesome, beautiful place. Secondly you might look up a company called Power Torque. They sell remanufactured engines at reasonable prices, idk about world wide though. You might also try to get in touch with Jasper engines and transmissions. Either of these companies offer excellent warranties and top notch products.
