217 Cast Heads?

Was talking with a rebuilt engine store and they said the 217 casting heads were the same as the 083's

I did some searches on here, but didnt turn up much info...

Anyone able to verify or elaborate?

IIRC, the 217s are what GM used on the 300 HP 350 crate engine of the 90s. They are virtually identical to the 083s.
