FYI The Moss catalog has a brief comment on head interchangeability, on
the External Engine page. Sounds like a go, since you don't need the
water choke, and presumably you have the correct rocker gear for that
head -- those were the only issues mentioned. And I think Lawrie wrote
it, so you know it's the word.
