yes , firing order is most likely non h.o, pistons are casr and dished most likely and heads may be e6 style.

Rebuild that one with better pistons and a different/correct cam, and heads. The timing chain cover is probably different too as those cars are serpentine, yet the water pump turns the same way as the crank.
