No, the transmissions were not the same in a 1997 Chevy K1500 with a 5.7L engine versus a 5.0L engine. The 5.7L (350 cubic inch) engine was typically paired with a heavier-duty transmission than the 5.0L (305 cubic inch) engine. While there's some overlap depending on options and trim levels, you'll generally find different transmissions used.
