LS motor identification

[BigRay800]

My 2006 suspension unlimited car has a LS 5.7 with the numbers K176. 016  stamped in the block above the oil filter. Does anyone know whose motor this is?

That area is not even close to where the Casting number is located

the numbers are stamped into the block like a builders number not try to identify the motor but who built it

More than likely it's a Turnkey Motor..... that's where most came from.
