I'm pretty sure that the block is the same, I believe that the camshaft is different because the GV has a distributorless system

all wrecking yards have access to some really fancy and expensive data bases.
this data , shows exactly what is swappable.

also this information is on the .
Zuwharrie.Com BBS - Index

do a search here, just about all swaps have been done here.
extreme too.

I could swap over the cam shaft if thats the case and also on my engine the dizzy housing bolts off the end of the head,i wonder if its the same on the newer one.
