The gear ratio is what may be different. I can't remember for sure but i think the 4.3 and the 5.0 were different ratios.I know the 5.7 was different.

Someone will be along to tell you what gears fit what size engine...

Your 4.3 final drive ratio is 1.68:1
5.0 final drive ratio is 1.59:1

The gearing is done through the upper section of the drive, the gears are the same in the lower sections.

I'll bet theres a ton of people that have done that swap, with the right prop you may get it in the peak opereating range, I don't know anyone that has first hand experience but I would do it if thats all I had.
