They went to aluminum blocks half way through the 2000's, only the 4.8l retained the steel block. I think the 6.0l did too. 5.3 went aluminum. So it could be a 4.8/5.3/6.0, or ls/lt whatever.
I don't understand why put an LS3 in and make that cover for it. Looks like it's hiding a blocky truck intake. A lot aftermarket companies make beautiful composite, and aluminum intakes.
Looking at the pictures I thought the LS3's came with the L99 water pump on the other side of the pulley, and the fuel inlet is on the drivers side? Looks like truck pulleys, and f body water pump, or possibly an ls1?
I have messed around with the truck/ls engines for my 928. A lot of configurations to make it clear. I currently have a spare dressed 5.3l on the engine stand.
