Default do silver top pistons/rods fit in a black top zetec?

i have been offerd a black top engne for a good price so i was thinking of transfering my farndon rods and accralite pistons over from my silver top zetec turbo lump

it seems to get through a litre of oil every 500 miles of average driving and smokes a fair bit when you lift off the throttle from verry high revs.

so will the parts more or less swap over?
