Difference between Lightening 351W and regular 351W?

I have been offered a low milage 351W from a 93 Lightening for a decent price.
Just wondering if anyone can tell me what different components came on them from the factory. Better heads or intake? I have never actually looked unbder the hood of a lightening.

GT-40 intake (much better), and a better cam. I don't think the heads were different, but I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong. The Lightning puts out 240Hp and the stock 351w puts out 215Hp. Not sure on the torque figures. If the price is right, I would say grab it. At the very least you could part it out and make some cash on ebay

93-95 Lightnings have GT40 heads with 340 torque.

One more question...

Is the '93 Lightning 351W a roller block? Or only '94 and up like the regular trucks?

94-95 were roller ready blocks. I have heard that some late 93 blocks were to. Check the date code above the starter it should start with F4 if I remember correctly.
