Turbo Head on a Non Turbo engine 900

My 94 940 dropped a valve seat in number two. I was able to find a used head on ebay but it is for a turbo engine. The casting number is the same so I went ahead and bought it.

I searched the archives for the consequences of using a turbo head on a non-turbo engine. As near as I can tell, the compression should be the same because the turbo engine gets its lower compression from dished pistons. The valves in the turbo head will be sodium filled which should be ok. The cams will be different, so I should probably switch the cams.

Did I miss anything?
