Back side of the block under the the driver side cylinder head is the casting number. Get that and cross reference it and it will tell you what block you have.

The low-profile oil sending unit in the 3rd picture is another give-away that it's a 2004+ motor. It likely has the LS2-style connecting rods also.

The DBC TB is a mystery to me. I thought they stopped those in 2003?
