Question Questions about the lq9 6.0 block

I have my engine out and was going to have it rebuilt, but now Ive been thinking about going with the lq9 6.0 block. I want to bore it 4.10ish. I will be able to use my crank and connecting rods out of my ls1, right? Is there anything else that I should be aware of or will everything just swap right over? I'm going to be getting some forged pistons. I will be putting in the asa hotcam with stage 1 livernois ls6 heads. Already checked for compression. I will need to run a .06-.07 gasket to be at 11:1. Any and all imput is greatly appreciated.

4.10 ish = DON'T DO IT
It's Iron, but it Ain't magic,
Punch it .06 at best,
and sonic check to be sure it's kool first,
Maybe you'll get some freak block that wouldn't mind a .1" punch, but I doubt it, hell I bet they'll only say to take it .04
Either way, 4"crank, it's 400+ inches any way

Physically/externally everything should bolt right up.

is 4.1ish really too much of a bore for it?
