Default Gen III part compatible with gen IV?

I've done a bunch of research on gen 3's and was ready to start my build: (https://ls1tech.com/forums/forced-in...ns-tx2k14.html) But what I thought was a gen 3 turned out to be a gen 4. I had it sent off to the machine shop before seeing the block. I had the build completely ready and have already order parts. And what I'm wondering is are the parts interchangeable. The differences I know are the the knock sensors and MAP sensors are moved, reluctor, and it had longer head bolts but that's about it.

I'm pretty confident about the heads and intake fitting fine, but will the TSP ls1 rotating assembly(bearings and wrist pins included) and the comp cam k- kit with matching lifters, timing chain set, and push rods? (http://www.atlanticspeed.com/product...idproduct=7815)

everything will fit, only diff is you need the front cam sensor & cover, adapter/extension harness, and relocate the knock sensors to the side of the block which means you need the gen 4 valley cover too, make sure u have a 2x cam gear, and gen 4 head studs/bolts

You'll need a 1x cam sprocket, and run sensor up front, sense there is no provision for rear cam sensor on Gen IV. There are some conversion kits available from Scoggin dickey that'll get you squared away with on item purchase if you don't want to piece it together.

I know i have to relocate the knock sensor to the side of the block, but do I use a gen 3 or gen 4 valley cover?
