Are all 1UZ's the same?

I am wondering if the bottom end of a 96 SC400 is essentially the same as a 98-00 GS? If anyone knows please tell me.
Thanks

there was a total of 2 revisions of UZ. First version is the 250hp one, second one is the one in '97 SC with 270-280hp? third one is with vvti on the gs400 with 300hp.

No, no, and no.

1. There are 3 different variants of the 1uz, 91/92 - 95 LS4 and SC4 ( 250hp ), 96-97 LS4 and SC4 ( 260hp ), and 98-2000 LS4 and SC4 and ( 290hp ) GS rated 300hp.

Blocks are same but rods and pistons are different.
