It will work and It should fit OK. There may be some differences in the accessory bracket mounts.
As for how well it will run, it may not be equal to the90 engine.

I'd personally junk the heads if I were doing a motor swap. Even e7's will be better. But if your looking for a running motor that'll work, that'll do it.
