The only thing I can think of that might give you problems is that the long oil cooler bolts are supposed to come up from the bottom on a T-3. They should be put in before the pistons/cylinders are installed. They can be put in from the top, but it is hard to get the nuts started. That, and the distributor drive goes in different between a T-1 and a T-3, but that can be installed after the longblock is built. I see both your cars are single ports, so there is no problem there.
