Default Difference in block years?

Just a quick question I couldn't find an answer to after a few searches. Is there any difference between a 1996 LT1 block and a '95 block? Would there be any additional hassle to put a '96 block into a '95 car?

Thanks in advance

Bare block? No difference (unless you include Corvette's that were 4 bolt main). Still, no functional difference.

Yep, it's just a bare block. It came out of an fbody so it should be 2 bolt main. Just toying with the idea of getting an engine stand and gathering motor parts on the side so I can "quickly" swap out the motor down the road and keep my original motor in storage/original with less down time to boot.
