Some little tidbits.
I am afraid that this info from your friend does not jive... The difference in the distributor is the tang at the end that fits into the oil pump, not the boss in the block for the distributor. Also, while there are parts that do not fit between engines, to say "none" is absolutely incorrect. Things such as engine sheet metal, some of the internals, bell housing, flywheel, etc all fit.
