Yes the crank is the same only the case is different but can be modified to suit.

whats the differance between the cases ?

The dipstick hole isn't drilled as the dipstick is in the filler tube and the oil pressure line has a blanking plug fitted.These small obstacles can be overcome fairly easily.
