Default LS1 to L92

Will the parts off my LS1 bolt up to a L92?

(Oil pan, front cover, lifter valley cover, pulley system, ect.)

So, all I need is a front engine cover and a valley cover?

How big of a cam should my 416 have? It is a street car, and I love a ridiculous idle, I want low-mid I guess. Basically from 0-100 and 30-120 I want to be untouchable.

You don't need the Front Cover..use a Gen III one, the LS1 does not have VVT. All these parts are pretty much universal. I just got done building a LSX Mutt..

Are you sure? LSX and L92 are different animals. Everything I've ever read here says on non VVT setups you have to use the gen IV LS2 front cover on the L92 block since it's where the cam sensor mounts. The L92 block doesnt have the mount for it in the back of the block like gen III LS1 style blocks do, thats why it's in the front cover. You just use a cam sensor harness extension in an ls1 vehicle for it to work.
IIRC the LSX block can use either gen III or gen IV cam sensor setup.

Don't mean to hijack your thread, but I have a dumb question, if the cam sensor is in the front, will any LS1/LS6 cam work, is the pickup in the timing gear? How does this front sensor work.??

gen III's cam pickup is in rear of cam. sensor threads into rear of the block.
gen IV's cam pickup is in cam sprocket. the sensor is in front timing cover.
from my understanding the gen III style cam will work in a gen IV motor but the gen IV style cam won't work in a gen III.
