Difference Between 2005 and 2006 Motors

My buddy just bought an '06 with a rod hanging out the side of the block. He has a complete 2005 motor, but wasn't sure if he could just swap it in because of the difference in the wiring harness on the vavle cover. Are there any differences in the heads, pistons, injectors, or anything else that could cause a potential issue? Thanks for your help.
