I'll throw in my two cents worth and say categorically that they were the same
engine! (don't forget that it was also used in a
Pontiac as well). It is typical of General Motors to make as much use of a
unique engine as possible. In fact there was a special
high performance of the F85 version used as a Police Car. I seem to recall
that it has somewhere on the order of 11.5:1 compression
ratio.
