Yup. These are NOT like Pontiacs. As others have pointed out, the most obvious difference is deck height. The taller deck was required to fit the longer stroke, but main and rod bearings were enlarged as well. Rods are longer. Heads have larger ports. Intake and exhaust manifolds are different. Obviously, pushrods are different. Yes, there's a lot of commonality, such as cams, timing sets, motor mount location, distributors, but they are two different motor families.
