I read somewhere that the 747-8 engine is physically smaller in diameter to fit the 747 and it's also fitted with bleed air. It must have been a bit beyond economical to convert the 747-8 to bleed-less.

So based on that I'm 99% sure that there would not be interchangeability. Theres probably a fair few parts that can be interchanged but not the whole engine.
