Are all B230 heads interchangeable?? 700 1992

My daughter's pride and joy (she paid for Inga herself) is a daily driver 92 745. She runs fine and drives solidly, BUT the rattling and tapping noises upon startup (compared to our other 3 B230 Volvos) is quite excessive. After the oil rises up, it settles down.
Here's the rub: I have a rebuilt B230 head in storage (My office ,as a piece of 'Art')from an 86 740 with little mileage on it. Would the 86 swap onto the 92? I have the time off during Xmas/New Year's holiday to do the exchange under the carport. I need to strike while the iron is hot. Also have the gasket set on hand.
What suggestions does the Brickboard say??
Thanks,
el raidman
