The cylinder bore may be the same but I would guess that the piston domes, piston stroke, valves etc.. provide the difference in compression ratios.
Even if you could just "bolt on" a factory SC on the NA Crossfire - you won't have the same engine.
I don't trust the part numbers. If you change the stroke and not the bore you won't have 3.2 liters of displacement. I don't want the same motor. I want a better motor.
