Short answer: yes. The mount points are the same.

Long answer: Chances are, with all the different systems installed over time, you may also need to transfer wiring, ignition and injection computers, sensors, etc.

You have 2 basic options: one is transferring the "guts" (ie. the longblock) and keeping all the ancilaries from the old one. The old one probably has K-jet, the later ones have LH-jet which lacks the injector holes in the head, so that would be a bit of a problem.

The alternative is to grab everything from the donor: block, wiring, sensors, manifolds, air filter housing, ducting, the lot, and basically upgrade the oily bits to full later model spec. More work, but you will on the other hand end up with newer stuff and in my opinion a more reliable system.
