Default Engine Question

Is the engine out of a 1991 Trans Am GTA (350 tpi) the same as is a 1991 Corvette? If not what are the differences?

The 91 Vette L98 is Speed Density and uses a MAP (Manifold Absolute Pressure) sensor and the 91 GTA uses a MAF (Mass Air Flow) sensor.

Also, the 91 Vette L98 has 10.25:1 compression ratio and the 91 GTA has 9.3:1 compression ratio.

I just sold a 92 firebird TPI engine. It was map and had iron heads. the iron heads have a different intake bolt angle.
