Hmm.. it's billed as an LS1 but it has a truck pan. I don't recall 5.7s being put in trucks.

odd..

Good eye Steve.

I was a little curious and did a search for a water pump for a 2002 Silverado truck and also for a 2002 Corvette. The water pump in the craigslist ad looks like the one used on the Silverado.

5.3 I bet. There are a lot of brand new 5.3s around complete, cheap right now.

Yea, and now that I had dinner I have the energy to agree that the water pump is a truck unit.

Would need to see a close up of the displament stamp on the block.. if it's a 5.3 then the seller is either stupid or dishonest since it's pretty damn obvious on inspection.

Like I said, Iron 6Ls went in trucks.. as did alum LS2 versions.. I don't recall LS1 (5.7s) ever going in a truck or SUV but alum 5.3s did.

There is still time to change your answer.....

I was just cruising through craigslist and saw that, and it did seem a like a good price. So, it is safe to say it is probably a 5.3 aluminum block engine from a truck?

well, he thinks it's a 4 bolt main, so he could also be wrong about the displacement.
