There is a 4.3L version of the LT1, is externally the same except for casting numbers.
Was the base engine in the 94-6 Caprice sedans only be they police or civilian cars.
The option code for it was L99.
To further confuse matters they used a "W" VIN code which was the 4.3L V6 code.
HUGE amount of missinformation out there on this.

The only way to make a "stock" (via factory parts) LT1 down that low is to use a 4.3 Baby LT1 crank (with 350 rods) in a 5.7 LT1. That makes a 4.9L (302cid) motor. Use the 4.3L crank AND rods and you get 5.3L. Only benefit would be it being quite the rev happy motor and a flatter tq and hp curve heh Side effect would be quite a big hit in torque.
