You could take about 70-80% of just the -200 cockpit and use it for spare parts on a Max8. Same switches, gauges, lights, etc. The list goes on.
Yes, the overhead panel is 1960’s but the cockpit displays, FMS, engines, wings, and other major components sure aren’t. The point is not a part by part count but the major components of the MAX are completely different than the -100 even to the extent that one could legitimately not call it a B737.
