Intake bolt pattern, angle, & how many bolts, TPI, TBI, computer contnrolled carb or non computer controlled carb, same with distributor, factory roller cam, flat tappet cam
( hydraulic ).
Thats all I can think of. IDK piston, rings, bearings.

i think all the bearings and rings are okay, but im more worried about the gaskets, like the rear main seal, are the older blocks 1 peice seal or 2 peice? are all the gaskets the same?

86+ engines are one piece RMS.

There are no 85 z28 350s.
