pull the plug outta thend of the snout shaft and fill it with rtv and youll be golden
lemme git them gen5 rotors/midplate
gearbox bolt pattern should be the same between gen3 and 5 cause i swear i tried to shove gen3 rotor pack into my scored to hell gen5 case and the bolt holes lined up just not the gearpack due to the offset

if your going for get it running asap, just put thin coat of rtv under the head of the push in tree clip (not on the push in part) that is the breather on the gen5's and push it in let cure, that way you can use a razor blade to cut the rtv then pull the clip out at a later date and reassemble the gen5 after youve aquired a gen3 and sell the gen5
it has the boost bypass flap welded open, I think. Idk what that's for. And the outlet has been opened up to a square shape.
gen3 wont work well on an l32 lim as the snout end is moved over
so when you set the gen3 blower down on the opening you can see into the intake
if you pull the alignment dowels outta the lim you can shift the blower towards the snout a little and id guess you could get it to seal pretty well (would be nice to drill the blower mounting bolt holes oversize to give you more movement)
you couldnt use the gen3 gasket as it doesnt work to well and the gen5 wont work well either so just cutup a cereal box and make a gasket or just use straight rtv and lay a good integral bead across the snout end (after scrubing and brake cleaning the snout sealing surfaces for good bonding to rtv)
leave blockoff off if you wanna cleanup inside bead so you dont suck in a chunk of rtv do the outside bead, bolton blockoff (fuckit rtv that too no need for anerobic sealer just dont go overboard 1/8th inch bead is more than enough)
then rtv around the base of the blockoff.
youll need a 6ft 2x4 to take it off but "it'll fit"
for the coolant holes 7/16ths drill bit and a 1/4npt tap and two internal hex/square drive plugs, maybe grind a 1/4x1/4 groove under the lim end plate
