2007 was a "crossover" year. The "classic" body style (as GM calls it) had Gen 3 engines. The '07 new body style had Gen 4 engines and is what Jon01 is recommending.

Gen 4 stuff is easier to find with low mileage, but there are some differences and the aftermarket hasn't quite caught up to what they have for Gen 3s.
