10V vs 20v Blocks

[Bob]

Im learning that the differences are minor, and you just hit on them 
except for the oil pan issue. My cast 20v oil pan (I hear) wont fit onto 
the 10V block? And if I want to keep my 20v pistons/crank/rods I need a 
later MC2 block.  Sound right? If all of this fits, including my oil 
pan, then yes, im interested!
