Imported long blocks

Well the motor in my zx was totally overheated, the machinist has never seen heads this badly warped. So I started adding up rebuild costs and decided I could get a motor with 40k on it imported from japan for 595.

Are the pathfinder motors exactly the same internally as the z31 motors? I have the exterior parts, so that isn't a problem, but was wondering if they are rated the same.

The only thing I could think is that the pathfinder motor has more bottom end torrque due to different cams, but I could be wrong.

Not the same internals; the blocks are identical.
