No,
Pistons and rods are different
Crankshafts the same
Block needs to be drilled and tapped to fit the tensioner for belt but other than that the block is the same.... I think

you can convert an 8v to 16v, but its more fuck on then its worth, and still requires engine to come out to do it with any "ease", so you may aswell get an S engine

it is near enough, but not worth the fuck on, 8v's dont have piston valve cut outs either, be cheaper and easier to replace the engine or indeed the seal again, but if it keeps going then there must be a reason for this...
