Cam,front dress, TB (electric not Cable driven), oil Pan,

Mainly it's the outside parts. Unless it's an LS6 the internals are no different.

The only year that I'm certain this is true was in model year 2000 when GM experimented with a different cam in the Corvette. Its specs were 198/208 .500/.500 115.5 LSA and, as such, it was the "biggest" stock cam ever used in the LS1 motor. For some unknown reason, though I expect they may have gotten complaints about the slightly rougher idle, it was never used before or after this one model year.
