Default 416 L92 engine swap ?s

I purchased a 416 L92 short block yesterday and need to know a few things for my swap. I will be using ported 241 heads and a LS6 intake. here is a link to the shortblock
http://www.sdparts.com/product/SDL92...istons2cc.aspx

what kind of lifters do I need? I have a new set of Comp high energy lifters CC850-16 for a LS1. Will these work for my L92?

Will 7.4 pushrods work?

What kind of harmonic balancer do I need? will a underdrive LS1 pulley work or would I need one from a LS2?

What size head gaskets should I get since I will be using 241 LS1 heads?

I've been reading I have to drill and tap the block for my knock sensor, anyone have pics on where and how exactly to do this?

I also want to get some 42# injectors. What brand does everyone reccomend? New Era performance has a sale right now on some Lucas 42#. Are they a good brand?

I'm sure I will have a bunch more questions in a few days but that is all I can think of at the moment. Thanks guys

LS7 Lifters or use what you have.

Pushrod length will have to be measured when you get everything together. 7.4 will be close.

LS1 Pulley is fine.

Head gaskets need to be 4.06 bore. So LS2 gaskets or aftermarket.

No drilling and tapping needed for the knock sensors. Install on side of black.

i think you need wire harness extensions for the cam sensor and knock sensor. other than that, you're ready to rock.

i just bought 42# flowmatched Lucas injectors from New Era, they work awsome. go for it

I am thinking of buying the 427 L92 shortblock and using my LS1 heads and intake,similar to your buildup.I just want to be sure that everything LS1 will bolt on the L92 block before I buy.
