Question simple question....i hope

Ok so i might have a deal on an obs 7.3l block. Question is, what are the differences between the obs block and our superduty blocks, 94.5-97 vs. 99.5-03, and are they interchangeable?

lol ok i guess i was hoping more for a simple answer like yes or no. But the question isn't that hard, is a 97 block interchangeable with an 01 engine?

Yes the blocks are interchangeable. The differences are all the stuff bolted to the block.

Isn't the part the fuel pump bolts to removeable? That could be a problem... I'm sure you could find a way to plug the hole if need be but that slipped my mind when I posted... thanks for bringing it up!
