You are going to have to bore the motor. That is about all I know or can help you.

On a personal opinion I really dont particulary like JE pistons. Havnt really herd any good/bad things or anyone using them on these type of motor builds.

if you bore the motor to the correct ls1 piston size then yes all else will fit.
