Is the new Gen V 4.3L v6 similar to an LS engine as the older 4.3's were similar to 350's?

I have one here for a project I am working on. Like everyone else has said, basically a Gen V minus two cylinders, there are lots of minor things that are different from the Gen III or IV. Engine mounts on the side of the block are different than Gen3/4, oil filter is on the other side of the motor so there is a manifold running through the oil pan. The water pump housing bolt holes are in the same place but the inlet and outlet ports are shaped differently. Bellhousing pattern is slightly different than Gen3/4. I have a thread going over on LS1tech if anyone is interested. http://ls1tech.com/forums/conversions-hybrids/1753035-new-gen-v-project.html
