The early Gen V manifolds has the recessed area for coolant o-rings in the gasket (like a Gen 3 gasket) and the newer style of manifold had a flat top for the aluminum Gen V gasket.

Either way, I'd suggest drilling, tapping and using 1/4" npt plugs on the coolant ports. Then take off the side cover of the LIM and port out the coolant passage from rear to front.
hey bill, the coolant ports were already tap and thread. i can probably take some better pictures. am lost with your statement, "Then take off the side cover of the LIM and port out the coolant passage from rear to front". what side cover are you refering too? what generation is my LIM and how do i port the passage ways? is there a write up on this?
