It depends what year the motor is but pretty much everything from your LS1 will swap over to the iron block. The alternator bracket will be a little different but thats about it.

Bypass valves stick open. Pump still flows, but the opening dumps it right back into the pan

Pull it out and see

If it's scuffed, wiped a lobe, or overheated the surface its done for. No way to know until you look
