Aren't those blocks 1/2 taller on the deck height? I don't know how much difference that would really make for header clearance, but it is worth noting.

I would seriously look into a shop that specializes in LS1 swaps and such. That's a hell of a responsibility ($$$$$$) your laying on someone's doorstep. Not something I would just drop off at any little shop.

Where are you located? Maybe someone can recommend a good shop. All of the installation is going to be custom.

Isn't that engine dry sump?

engines will come with no sump, can configure as wet or dry sump according to your needs
