They will work, however, the LT1 pistons have short skirt to allow high rpm operation with less friction and also the 350 pistons would be a little heavier so it would be better to rebalance the crank.
Your LT1 pistons are great pistons... Mahle makes them... I didn't know much about them but have learned why GM had them build them on the LT1 and LT5 yeah the LT5 too... so they are good pistons that can take a beating if you can get the skirts.
