Nope.

The heater lines are different too. The supply line doubles over the thermostat housing to make thermostat replacement really difficult then makes for the fender.

But, the heater lines should still attach to the h2o-pump housing via the same ports.

The front cover might be different since the .96 dipstick is at the front of the engine vs the .97 dipstick beside the IP.

Yes, now I do remember that the dipstick tube is different, but I bet this can be overcome reasonably easy.
