Most lsx engine components are compatible with each other within the family, but I am no expert so that being said I think it would be compatible and a nice upgrade!

Throwing an LS1 piston into an LS3 block would be like throwing a hot dog down a hall-way.

Pistons do not know what they are in. All they know are measurements and clearances. I've used Chevy pistons in a Ford before.
