15-17 heads work on 11-14 block?

[MIDTNSVT]

Long story made short I was given a 15 f150 coyote complete engine that the back of the block was cracked due to a wreck the truck was in. I have an opportunity to purchase a 13 f150 long block for $400 that was running, but making a noise. My question is will the 15 heads bolt right on without any modifications be it head gaskets or other differences? Also with cost of machine shop work and new bearings-rings would I be better off just buying a replacement 15-17 short block from ford? This will be going in my notch and before I start buying the parts needed for the swap I just wanted to get as much info as possible. I used the search on here, and googled it but haven’t really found much info other that an oil hole needing to be blocked off? Thanks for any info/help as you might be saving me time and $$ in the near future!

As far as I know you swap the timing components over and cams and as far as gaskets you use the 15-17 gaskets. If you're on facebook join the coyote groups there are shops and knowledge people in them who have no problem guiding people in the right direction.
