Technically yes, i believe the differences are the pistons, rods, cams , oil outlet in the block for the turbo, sump pan (oil return for the turbo) engine wise. It mounts exactly the same etc! They are the same externally and its only the turbo that gives it away, but there are differences beneath.

Thanks for the reply

Hm so really if using a 400 as a donor car the only bits needed from it are the engine mounts and wiring loom? (from reading your guide)

Also when dropping it into a ZS I presume the ZS would have to been a 180 originally or else some of the parts already on the ZS won't work if it started off life as a K engined ZS (driveshafts etc)

Sorry for all the questions, just very serious about doing this conversion and trying to figure out the best way to go about it all
