All of the coolant passages are cast differently for the reverse flow cooling. That and the fact that there isn't provisions for a regular distributor are the main differences.

it is totally different along witth tthe coolant passages thhe block is shorter from front to back as well as having a gear driven watter pump,opti spark,the only thing it shares witth an l98 is the bore spacing
