warped head due to overheating, ouch! 700

I have a '89 765ti, with a newly warped head, due to failure of water valve on highway. Anyway, that's water under the car so to speak and now i have the dreaded warped head (drove about 5 km before realizing there is no idiot light for temp, just the gauge that i rarely (used to) look at.

My local Volvo mechanic (who has been great to date) is telling me that a head from a '95 940 non turbo will fit nicely on my 89 b230ft. My review of the specs says that there is a different cam on the non turbo, and the valve clearance is slightly less on intake and slightly more on exhaust.

Any comments, concerns or otherwise would be appreciated.

Anyone interested in feeling good about their brick would best ask me for what i have spent since purchasing mine in July of this year. Total is up to $6,500CDN and thats before whatever it is going to cost for head.

But, i'm still smilin'!!!
