Default Difference in 97 Vette vs. 98 Z28

Just wondering how much difference there was between a 97 Vette LS1 and a 98 Z28 LS1? Like heads, cam, injectors, etc. etc. Why I ask is cause ummm, a friend of mine...just happens to have both those cars...and ummm, the camaro has to be turned back in to the leasing company...so he was thinking it would be cool to kind of take the best parts and put them on one engine...what are the possibilities??

I heard that the 97 Vette might have piston slap as well, and the 98 Z28 doesn't.

You (oops, your friend) should take the Mobil 1 oil fill cap off the Vette and put it on the Z.

Other than that there isn't anything worth swapping out...unless you like the wagon wheels.
