I assume they are going with an electric PS pump much like the hybrid trucks.
It's two piece plastic welded together.
The bellhouse looks Gen V unique, looks like they had to off set the top bolt hole due to the DI pump drive.

I honestly don't see a need to continue with the LS engines. I agree, they make good power, but they have their problems too. I think a new engine is a good way to go. Just think of all the upgrades you had to do, to not only make more power , but fix or improve not up to par parts. Sometimes its easier to just start over or change a foundation rather than find a bunch of fixes for an existing foundation. If you look at the new LT block, Looks LS to me.
-Rockers
-Oil consumption in PVC system
-Rod Bolts
-Oil Pumps
-#7 piston seems to be popular
etc..etc...
