this is supposed to be a 1926 big six engine that looks like my 1923 big six other than the air cleaner.  is the engine block itself the same?

See images below for location of engine number. Once you have the number you can tell the model year and series of the car it was originally used in.

Generally the number will be preceded by two letters that indicate the model designation, i.e. EP prefix is a 1925-26 Big Six, EK a 1922-24 Big Six,

EQ a 1925-26 Special Six etc.

The engines should be interchangeable.

Many of the parts are interchangeable, But the engines ARE DIFFERENT. The back of the engine ... one has a bell housing, the other nothing. The oil systems inside are totally different. 

Yes, you can change pistons, barrels and heads ( Special to Special and Big to Big. 

Accessories are mostly the same. 

I have rebuilt both
