Jim Hall posted that the heads will be interchangeable.
I hope that the blocks are compatible as well.

Blocks are a ton different...I am pretty sure the heads will not work either.
The knock sensors are moved from the valley area. The main changes in the block is the oil drain/ventilation system. COMPLETELY different, you will find the valley cover is used to cap multiple vent/drains built into the interior of the block instead of using the outboard drainbacks.
