Thanks Hasnain. Anyway, here some bits form the net...
In 2003, the Block 60 was redesignated F-16E/F, in recognition of the major structural, avionics and propulsion system advancements, which make the Block 60 a practically new version of the F-16. The first of 80 Block 60 F-16s for the United Arab Emirates Air Force made its maiden flight at Fort Worth on December 6, 2003. It bore the serial 3001 and wore the civil registration of N161LM. Deliveries are scheduled to run from 2004 to 2007.
Surely some parts can be used but there is no upgrade possible due to much higher thrust needed from the engine. To tell you insight... The weight even in the Block60 is a big issue. They keep having often flat tires after the landing. IF you add all the equipment in the vanilla block52 it will not be safe.
