It does look gen III. I really can't tell if it is my eyes playing tricks on me with the picture size/quality, but that looks like a truck manifold. For a brief period, if I remember right, there were actual 5.7 ls1s in some trucks. I could be wrong on that one though. However, make sure you aren't dropping a 4.8 in your car. How dissapointing would that be...
