Default New 5.3L Question

Do the 5.3 engines in the 07 models have cathedral port heads? Do the 07's have the 58x reluctor wheel? Do the 08 5.3's have cathedral port heads? I wasnt sure with the new LS3 architecture what exactly has changed.
Thanks,
Daniel

From what I have read the 07's still use a GEN III based head with cathedral ports and intake but have a 58x reluctor wheel and new PCM. I haven't actually takin one apart though. The 08's are more then likely the same. I can't see them changing anything soon because the heads now work good on a 5.3L.

The L92/LS3 heads have the bigger valves and square ports and GM would have to put smaller valves to get them to work.
