Marc,
The blocks from all the different versions of the PRV engine are NOT the 
same. The castings and bosses and bracket locations on the exterior of the 
block where different "attachments" bolt on vary from make to make. Also the 
pistons and their matching "wet" sleeves are matched to each block and cannot 
be interchanged from make to make. You cannot take the sleeves and pistons 
from a 3.0 liter engine and install them into a 2.8 liter block, or vis 
versa. Same with the 2.5 liter - 2.7 liter and other variations. Matter of 
fact, I'm ammazed at how many parts will not interchange from one motor to 
another within the PRV "family". 
If you deciede to "swap" another PRV engine into your car, you had 
better plan on useing most of the parts from the "swaped" engine. Of course 
it's the same as anything else. If you want to spend enough time and money, 
you can make just about anything work.
