Yes, if you turn off your caps lock.

In all seriousness, it will work, but you'll want to use GSR or ITR rods. I would strongly advise considering a crank girdle if you'll be revving it very far.

Better off running an LS crank in a GSR block...but only if your caps are off.

Why put a GSR crank in an LS block? You are destroking the motor, so you'll lose displacement and torque.

It's marginally safer at high revs. I wouldn't bother though just because of the cost associated with a new crank. If you want the LS bottom end to be rev-safe, then get some forged rods and a crank girdle.
