I'm going to say no, because many SOHC motors have a balance shaft. All have the three cam chain set up. Therefore, it would stand to reason that a SOHC block would have some different machine work etc to accomodate those items. In addition, there are probably no provisions for lifters, and if there are, I'd bet they are not machined.
So they are the "same", but probably different enough to disallow interchange.
Which one are you looking for?

Not looking, just trying to understand if both motors started with the same basic "mold".
Like the Chevy 350 came from the 327, which came from the 307, which came from the 283. Same family of blocks.

Got your Chevistory a little backward there--by year of introduction:
265
283
327
350
302
307
400
262
305
What you said would be like saying the 289 came from the 255. Look it up......
