Default head bolt perimeter??

do the 97' corvettes have the same head bolt pattern as the 98 camaro and trans am? or are they the centerline pattern like the 99'-02' F-body? thinking about putting a 97' short block on my friends 99' trans am, but don't want to change the heads, valve covers, coil packs, etc.

Your talking about valve cover bolts, not head bolts, right? Just making sure. If your talking about valve covers, then yes, they are perimeter bolts.
