Same casting.

Different Cams and valve springs.

 

so how can I tell by the cams and valve springs?

Yes.

Cams are less aggressive on the auto. But like i stated, the castings are the same. You have to degree the cams to know which are which, unless you have an ungodly talent for sizing up cams with your eye.

 

is there a throttle body on it? most autos have another "throttle cable" hook up to it, letting the tranny know when to down shift when needed
