is interchangeable as well correct?

it just has coated exhaust ports and stiffer springs i believe...


i lost out on a remanufactured head on ebay with the same casting number as mine. i just want to get the cleanest head for the money. i dont care what it came off of unless its going to cause a performance problem. i dont need more power, i just want to keep what i had.
