With an LSA of 121, you are going to need to rev past the comfort zone of the rod bolts. If it fits, I think it is a poor choice. I checked GMPP, there is no specific information on fitment to other blocks.

It will physically fit in the block but I believe you have to change the cam gear. The question is WHY? The valve events are entirely wrong for cathedral port heads whether they be 5.3, LS1 or LS6. It would turn your car into a real POS. Don't do it!
