The packaging is different (intake, TB, inlet, accessories, etc). Here is some info in a current thread.

Yes. The blocks themselves are the same.

I just finished that exact swap. The blocks are the same except a few minor differences. You'll want to use your SN95 timing cover and water pump. Fuel rails are different. Distributor can work but the SN95 looks better. Behing the timing cover is the timing chain. On the bolt that is in front of the camshaft in the 89block, there's a small bracket. Unscrew the bolt and remove the bracket cause it will hit your SN95 timing cover/waterpump.

The lower intakes are almost the same. You'll need to install a couple plugs o the 89 lower. And yes the accessories will bolt right up to your 89block. You just need to re-use your SN95 brackets.
