Nope. The oiling holes were drilled in different cam bearings. But that would not affect dizzy installation. Most aftermarket cams are drilled in both cam bearings so they'll work in either engine.
Recent thread on this... What worked for us was slight down pressure on dizzy while slowly turning the engine over with the crank pully nut

Just dropped the motor off at the guys shop. He asked the same thing about turning the motor over while pushing the dizzie in. I told him that it's just me in my garage and I only have two hands. And I have never had to do that in the past. He is going to call me once he figured it out. I hope it drops in without to big of a fight to be honest.
question to all the pros (and whoever else whats to chime in). . .
I apologize for how stupid this sounds....but I have to ask.
Can a ANY other non-toyota (chevy primarily) FIT in a 2F?
How about a gear on the camshaft? or is it part of the cast?
ideas?

I think the gear is part of the cam. I don't recall being able to move or make any adjustments to it.
I don't know of any specifically that would come from GM. The 250 inline 6 is a close match on the engine itself, but I have not seen the two cams side by side.

Most likely the machine shop removed the dizzy alignment block and didn't get it in straight. If you have to crank your motor while pushing down on the dizzy then something is wrong. It will slide right in assuming the bore isn't miss aligned or it has corroded.
If it can't go but a quarter inch or so from bottoming out then it's not seated in the oil pump. If it is any more than this then it's an alignment issue. The cure is to pull the pan, insert the dizzy, loosen the alignment block bolts, slide the dizzy the rest of the way, rotate the flywheel and verify the alignment block isn't moving around and torque it back.
If you decide to cram it in there expect to snap the dizzy shaft eventually.

The guy at the machine ship thinks I'm a retard when in telling him that there is a block that is held in with two 10 mm bolts inside the motor. Trying to explain this to him is killing me. I told him that much more experienced machinists with 2f motors know that this is a common problem.
Just do this ^^^^^^^^ and your headache will go away.
Your machinist should fix this for free but if he is being difficult why make your headache worse?
Told ya that you should pull the oil pan...

Yes I have called and relayed the message to the machinist and he is calling bs. So I said to him that if he doesn't have time to fix it or look at it I will come in on Monday and pick it up and do it myself. He has had the motor in total for over a month now and I'm tired of not having a cruiser. I'm tired of dealing with him to.
Thanks for the help guys.

Hey good news I finally got the motor back today. And I asked him what the issue was and he said it was something with the oil pump. He wouldn't admit that it was the dizzie mounting block that just needed adjusting.
