Don't see why not. Denmah on here did it with a 4.8L

Not sure where the cam sensor pickup is on that block but the LS9 cam only has the provision for a cam sensor on the timing cover, not the top back of the block. Also not sure if it's a 3 bolt or 1 bolt.

we bought an ls6 which is basically the same cam, with a lower lsa IMO
