M130 cylinder head

Hello,
Does anyone know if M130 9.0 (compression) and M130 9.5 heads are interchangeable?
Thanks,

There a number of M130 cylinder heads and they're all different in some way. Some are for carbed engines, some are for FI engines and then there are early and late versions. You pretty much need to go by casting number on the siide of the head.
