very common to have to change timing covers if the engine was fitted to a different chassis. i've encountered this myself numerous times.
heres an example of my most recent encounter: changing a blown engine in a 2007 scion tc. the engine is a 2azfe made by toyota, and its used in the camry, rav4, tc, xb and corolla xrs. we ended up with a rav4 engine and i had to change the oil pan and the timing cover to make it fit the car properly.

100% switch from the original onto the replacement. I deal with engines coming from Japan all the time, itll be the same engine code, specs and everything but came from different vehicle so it has different mounting locations. Same goes for the transmissions.

Weld the two engines together on a common crank shaft

@newtonsbuilds8831 says:

Chances are that’s not the same engine, anyone saying you can swap this and that to make it fit, although sometimes you can get away with this and components are like for like, but like another comment said the other engine may have vvt or be another variant from the same model.
Breaker’s yards will tell you “yeah yeah yeah mate deffo right one” only for it to be a bag of rubbish and they’ll only refund you for credit at their yard

V10 swap time

@FartSuckerUmad says:

Need a conversion kit for engine mounts more than likely

If you can buy a premade awesome! If not a fabricated set will set you back about $700 (AUD)

If its a later model engine good chance there is conversion kits ready to go.

@davidroux1226 says:

@timmytooturnt9162 says:

@richardferguson3965 says:

I agree with other commenter it looks like you need to swap the heads
