Don't all redblock heads have the same size valves? In which case, wouldn't any head do? Suitably skimmed to get the correct compression ratio.

The port shapes is where the gain and difference is.

Same as swapping a 530 for 531

Valves are the same in all of the heads bit port and combustion chamber shape make the difference/improvement
