I got your pm, but the question is mostly answered here.

I think the distributor will but you might have to swap the gear.  The oil pump will.  The rocker shaft stands.  Maybe the fuel pump.

None of the stuff you mention will interchange with the Ford/Merc Y-block. The 317 is physically larger and the intake runners are laid out side by side instead of stacked. The TC is also different. It will not mate up to a Ford/Merc bellhousing except for one from a heavy truck.

I considering acquiring a '56 lincoln 317 long block. Wondering what things like intake, valve covers, timing covers etc. are interchangeable?
