Diffs between US 380se cyl head vs Euro 380se

I have an 84 380se Euro car that is in need of a new cyl head due to a crack. I found some used heads that are from a US spec car. Will these heads work on my engine? I wish that I had the part numbers to compare, but at the moment I can't get them.

Thanks for the help.

The vin on the euro is wdb1260321a076067. I do not have a vin on the US car. Anyone else have one we could use?

Thanks.

Wink Heads

Yes they will work although compression will be slightly lower. Also the camshafts have a higher lift and duration in the euro heads. Make sure to use the camshaft from the euro to reduce the amount of horsepower loss.
