just about the only common components are the rods and crank.

cam is very diferent and has a different valve order.
block is very similar but not the same.
oil pump/pickup very different
sump different
pistons different
cam chain is duplex I think, pulleys different of course

cylinder head is very different of course and will not tolerate being sat in a transverse config without provision for oil draining at the rear.
water pump is on the opposite end and run from the cam which protrudes above the gearbox bellhousing.
