Default Visible Differences between LT1 and LT4 motors

Other than the obvious "Grand Sport" tag on the LT4 TB, what are the other visual differences between the LT1 and LT4 that make them easily identifiable?

Engine differences:
1. No EGR valve at rear of intake manifold
2. Red intake manifold.
3. Remove oil filler and look inside. See roller rockers and "LT4" cast in head.

I believe the word "Corvette", on the LT4's motor, is printed in raised red letters, whereas the LT1 is not. Note that you can buy these letters for the LT1, though.

Actually, the LT4 fuel rail cover letters aren't raised, they are sunken like the LT1s...only difference is the sunken letters are red.

You should be able to see the LT4 crossing the finish line first. :D
