The blocks are generally the same and will pretty much swap from one car to another. I personally wouldn't risk buying an unknown lump though. I'd rebuild my own, which I am in fact doing on a thread over on projects. For the money that a random block from who-knows-where will cost you, you could be spending the same again in 6 months time if it goes again.
