I would say that they are probably about the same.  They may have changed the liner in the 81 a little but overall you'll get the same ride out of each.

That I don't know.  The engine mount widths changed sometime along that timeframe so maybe the scuppers were widened to accomodate that?  My scuppers are covered mostly by the engine mount  :roll:
