Port design differences... SBC (TPI) motors have the two center exhaust ports together (siamesed) and LS1s have equidistant exhaust ports (all are the same distance apart...)

These guys are right, they have nothing in common with TPI engines, centers, port shapes, spacing, port height and even the subframe shape are very different.
