Yes and no, it depends on the part. The dimensions are the same for things such as valve covers but starting in 1986 the block was changed to use a roller cam, so the cam and lifters are different. What part are you looking at?

As far as heads go they use the same heads. Only some had slightly different head to block coolant ports, something to watch for when swapping heads.
