Default 6 liter engine bearings same as 4.8/5.3/5.7?

I have a higher mile 6 liter short-block that I am going to have gone through and freshened up. It is a 2004+ motor. While looking on either jegs/summitt and other parts websites, they usually list bearing kits that fit 4.8,5.3,5.7 ls motors. Are these going to work with the 6.0 as well? I thought maybe since its an iron block that it may use a different bearing.

Thanks for the help,

The rod bearings are the same for all years that has a 2.100" rod journal but the main bearings are specific to the LS style cranks
