Vette 350 or ? which one ?

Hey everyone, i presently have a good running 305 TPI SD 96K miles in my 90 GTA.
I have been looking to swap to a 350 TPI. I can get a thirdgen camaro/firebird 350 TPI with about 70K miles ( MaF i think ) or i can go with a Vette 350 TPI SD with about 53K miles.
Both come with wiring harness and ECM.

The difference i know between the 2, is the Vette has aluminum heads, possably about 10 hp more, acessories placement.

where as the camaro/firebird 350 is a little closer to the 305 that would come out, As far as accessories placement and such.

Around a 300 diff in price.

Any suggestions?

Thanks! Any suggestions or info is greatly appreciated.

Oh, i forgot, also the EGr on the Vette motor is plumbed differently. Its not mounted under the plenum on the manifold , its externally plumbed. Could always delete it on the ECM, if need be.
