crank is different but you can get an adapter for the gen VI block to use a MKIV crank otherwise the flywheel/harmonic damper will also be different if you change to a gen VI crank, alternator/PS brackets need holes redrilled (bolts are larger and offset about 1/8" so you can redrill the hole off center with a drill press to fit) gen VI is missing the hole for the front mounting bolt of the starter motor if the mkIV block has the old large starter( there is a 1/2"npt pipe thread plug in this location so you can tap a 1/2 " plug for the 3/8 bolt if you want to use the original large starter), the seawater pump will need to be shimmed to line up with the serpentine/ V belts, timing cover is different, Different oil pan as you knew and different dip stick
nothing major just a few idiosycracies
