if you change EVERYTHING over-- pistons, rods, crank, dampener then yes.

mixing and matching is a recipe for disaster. or at least needing expensive machine work.

anyway the problem lies in the rods-- different little end thicknesses, and pistons corresponding different pin bosses. and ultimately, weights, which would require a rebalance.

Yes...since i have a couple of complete engines..i wanted to swap the best in the best block , i read a couple of years ago that you could swap the complete rotating of a magnum in a La...and i thinling about it or even just take pistons that have a better ring package , and they are internal engines..the 360s are more harder to get right :)
