Similar core and accessories? Yes.
Totally interchangeable? No.
The two basic versions of the GEnx have a different diameter fan (the 747-8 is the smaller one) and the 747-8, unlike the 787, still needs "old style" bleed air.
Besides, we've been told time and again on this very forum that no sCAL pilot has any interest in flying a jumbo. Your secret is safe with us.
