Most of it will, but some of the seals won't the specific crank bearings.

Basically most of the gaskets are wrong. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/FEM-MKP6156A-000/?rtype=10 Just get the correct sizes

How about listing the old rebuild kit in Uncle Henry's or something?  Then use the $ to buy the right kit.

I haven't used either kit, just trying to throw out some suggestions.

i would do that but i dont think i would be able to sell it quick enough and the rebuild kit now is probably $250, and i paid $199 for my kit

You'll have to tear the engine apart to see. Do you know the bore diameter and the condition of the cylinders. Do you know if the mains and rods are in good shape? Are they standard?

Basically as far as gaskets you'll need the oil pan, rear main, intake, valve cover and valve seals. Everything else should work.
