Are you swapping motors or exchanging parts? The M-42, M-43, M-44 motors all shared the same inline four, DOHC design but valve actuation and balance shafts as well as several displacement versions makes for a lively combination, what did you have in mind?

I am going to rebuild my engine, just awaiting the parts to land.I have already dismantled my engine so that when I get the bearings, I can get the crank cut to match the bearings.
