Back to the earlier question about whether a 9-man 327 can easily be made into a 359 by boring, a quick browse of the parts book shows unique part numbers for the following as different between the 53 Patrician 9-main 327 and the 359:

piston, crankshaft (obvious)
camshaft
camshaft bearings
cam sprocket
connecting rod
connecting rod bearings
main bearings
intake manifold
intake valves
oil pan, and more.
