361 same as 383 and 400 ?

I wonder, if the 361 is the same block as the 383 / 400.
Is the only difference the bore size?
The cranks are all the same as far as I know.

I belive every thing on the 361 interchanges with the 383-400 but pistons

I believe the 361 came out in '58, so if it's a '58-'62 engine the crank will be the older extended 8 bolt flange deal that won't work with regular 727's and torque converters. '63-'66 is the same as 383-400 except bore size as you said.

except that the last year for the eight-bolt extended-flange crank was 61. 62's switched from cast iron to aluminum torqueflite and used what we now think of as the "normal" six-bolt standard-flange crank.

Thank you very much.
