Not 100% but I am saying no.... The 4.3 was always a 350cu engine minus 2cyl. If it was LS based it would come out to a 4.2L engine
5665CC / 8= 708.125 cc per cyl x 6 = 4248.75CC converted to liters 4.24875 Less than 4.25 so it would be called a 4.2
Plus GM made the small block Gen 2 engine to 2002 even though gen 3 started in 1997. There was an overlap for certain applications and the 4.3 was a gen 2 motor minus 2 cylinders.
Also S10 263 to 350 conversion motor mounts fit all years as well. So I would assume it used the same block design to end of protection.
