Default Installing LS6 valley cover on 6.0L Iron block?

I am in the process of getting an engine swap on my '98 vette. I've got an engine from a 2006 pickup (older 24x sensors etc, not the LS3 version) LQ 6.0L iron block going in. I've already got an LS6 intake manifold, but I really want to get the LS6 valley cover installed to eliminate oil in the intake. I already bought a good quality catch can, and that will be installed as well.

My question is, will the LS6 valley cover fit on a 2006 6.0L iron block?

It will fit any Gen 3 4.8, 5.3, 5.7, 6.0. Newer style cover requires no PCV valve, older does require one. Cap any valve cover vents off that were previous used with the PCV system.
