I can tell you for certain that's not true, I have 2, 6.5s and the architecture is completely different. Nothing would interchange between the 2 engines, and they don't look anything alike. Different rocker arm setups, timing covers are completely different, the valve order arrangement is different, nope after working on hundreds of Stratostreak V8s, they have nothing in common with the 2, 6.5s I currently own.
