The size of the engine in the SS is the same as the standard Vette engine. However, the sticker on the Vette says made in USA while the SS states made in Mexico. Other than country of manufacturing, are the engines the same?

If it's not an L99 what is it, because it definitely has AFM. Hence the 400 HP in lieu of the 425 HP of the manual.
Or I should say it is the L99.

The Chevy SS, Camaro SS M6, and C6 Vette (Base and GS) all use the LS3. The power rating is different based on intake and exhaust configurations, between the different models.

The LS3 and L99 are different engine variants based on the LS engine family.
