4bolt main block and aluminum heads, I think.
EGR is different as well I believe.
other than that, I am not too sure.

Its not a 4 bolt main, and since its an 85 it doesnt have aluminum heads either.

The runners are different on the vettes, but probably flow the same. The heads are different since yours are centerbolts. Yours has a roller cam, his does not. You have a one piece rear main seal, his is a 2 piece. His has the early MAF ecm (I think).
