Default LQ4 crank in LS2 block?

I've been searching for an iron 6.0 to start my build, planning on stock crank with forged rods/pistons. I came across a ls2 block at a local machine shop for 400 that has already been honed and cleaned up. Would there be any issues using a crank from the lq4 in this block? Also wondering if they would use the same rod and piston combos i've been looking at.

Should be just fine, just have the clearances checked and the crank may need to be balanced.
