Could I swap a 1983 mercruiser 305/5L serial#6275628 with a mercruiser 898 serial number 5403332?

There must be some differences since on my 305 I have something called a thunderbolt ignition attached to the riser and a 4 barrel carb. On the 898 it is a 2 barrel and no thunderbolt ignition. I'm not too concerned about these though I'm primarily interested in the 898 motor attaching to the rear flywheel housing the same way the 305 does.
