So, all I need is a front engine cover and a valley cover?
How big of a cam should my 416 have? It is a street car, and I love a ridiculous idle, I want low-mid I guess. Basically from 0-100 and 30-120 I want to be untouchable.

IIRC the LSX block can use either gen III or gen IV cam sensor setup.

Don't mean to hijack your thread, but I have a dumb question, if the cam sensor is in the front, will any LS1/LS6 cam work, is the pickup in the timing gear? How does this front sensor work.??

gen III's cam pickup is in rear of cam. sensor threads into rear of the block.
gen IV's cam pickup is in cam sprocket. the sensor is in front timing cover.
from my understanding the gen III style cam will work in a gen IV motor but the gen IV style cam won't work in a gen III.
