A bunch of parts are different,camshaft, valve springs, pistons, carb. torque converter and possibly the distributor, depending which state the two cars where built to be sold in Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964.

Plus, as mentioned, the 375/390hp motors are HP motors and will have the heavy rod and balancer with the eliptical weight.
