never thought about this but whatz the difference?..Does the W have port
injection?
Went out and looked in the Haynes manual and it mentions a CPI system
which seems to be a cross between a TBI system and individual
injectors.....more HP?

The Z is a TBI, it has 2 injectors and the setup looks like an
electronic carb. Has a round air filter on top of the engine with a
horizontal throttle plate. The W motor, also called the CPI or
Vortec, has a filter box in front of the oil filter in the engine bay,
behind the driver's headlight. There are 6 injectors on the V-6, but
they all fire at once. I believe there's a different cam in each
motor, plus the injection setup, accounting for the extra HP. Oh
yeah, the W engine has a vertical throttle plate, it sits in front of
an intake plenum that looks like a black spider.
