Depends on what year's you're asking about. Many years there's little to no difference. When there was, it was in cams or the heads (sometimes) Pretty much all shared the same short block assembly. (block crank rods pistons)

Yea, the intakes were the same with the exception of the 4 bbl intakes, trucks never got a 4 bbl from the factory in a 289/302

Most cases the heads were the same too. Very few exceptions, like the 68 4 bbl 302, those used the older 289 head that was recast with an updated 302 engineering number.
