Be sure you don't throw anything away until you finish. If you are comparing an engine from a bird to an engine from a passenger car (you didn't specify), and I remember correctly, the oil pan and pump is different. The casting where the water pump mounts is different. There is a tach drive on the bird distributer but not on the passenger car. This goes back 45 years and may not be totally accurate.
