Default Difference between LT1 and LT4?

I know the cam is different. I know the LT4 uses roller rockers. I know the LT4 had slightly higher compression (how did they attain that). Are there other differences? Plenum?

Check out the Car and Driver magazine web site. They have an article in their archives about the LT4 which gives some good information.
