Interchangeable but not quite a bolt in.

Already know 2 layers of the old gasket had to be sammiched with new gasket to gain deck clearance.
If I had to do again I'd get a second generic base gasket and sammich that to be sure.

Report after second 50 mile commute....
Engine feels almost as good as new. Rings still seating. Idle screw set almost exactly stock now.
Valve lash noise but to be expected. As everything seats in I'll need to reset valve clearances.
Next weekend I'd imagine.
I'm now allowing motor to rev out for short bursts to 5000 rpm with a bit over 100 miles on it.
No smoke, no leakage and no oil consumption.
