The 359 is a bored and stroked 327 so everything on the outside is identical.

The 359 had an aluminum head which did not hold up well in some cases. If the engine you are contemplating still has one treat it with respect. Some aluminums have been replaced with cast iron heads but you do need to be selective on which cast iron head is used to keep the compression ratio on the 359 within reason.
