Years back I installed a 4-bbl intake manifold onto a 2-bbl engine. The distributor from the 2-bbl engine did not fit properly - it would not seat down all the way. Forcing it into position would damage the oil pump. We managed to do that.
This may have changed for later engines, but make sure that distributor fits properly.
