Basically, no. About the only thing I can think of is the generator or alternator--this engine could have either one, if you bought the whole engine with tin, etc., instead of just the longblock. Make sure you've got a compatible voltage regulator for it. In the old days when lots of cars had generators, if you had a generator-equipped Bug you could put any VR in it--I had a 1963 with a Bosch generator and the VR out of a Ford truck. (And I knew it was from a Ford truck because that's what I took it off of.) 'Course, if you're putting your old accessories on a new longblock, this isn't a worry--your old VR will work with your old generator. Other than that, it should go right in.
