Would NG engine mate to 4KQ tranny/chassis?

Thank for your response Huw. Need the following clarification if you would please.

Huw, does this mean that IF I were to swap both, entire engine and fuel dizzy/airbox ect, this latter (fuel dizzy, ect.) one would not plug into the respective space on the JT-stock chassis?


Tony or anyon else whose BTDT, could probably pitch in on this one.
Looks like I'm better off swapping that NG cam into the JT and call it a day; any power gains by doing that? 

Huw, would the block of said NG mate to a JT-head?

I have a spare JT-head, exhaust and intake manifolds laying around and would make for a complete engine. I do notice, however, that the water pump on the NG, along with CAM pulley, and imagine CRANK pulley gear are also different than the JT, thus, would need to pull the CAM puller off the NG head to carry it over to the JT head to make it compatible. 

Thank you again,
