It's in the LSx family, yes. Even 4.8, 5.3, and 6.0's are considered to be LSx engines, they are in the LS family of engines.

Generally LSx refers to the entire family of LS engines. LSX generally refers to the race block.

Yep, it gets confusing. And, I hate the term "iron LS1". It's so much more appropriate to say Iron 5.7 Gen 3
