Likely functionally the same but I would guess you'd have a bimodal distribution of points if you measured the critical dimensions of a population of heads. Not that they'd be way out, but you can't just assume they're the same.

(for all intents and purposes they're probably the same.. maybe some Spec Miata folks actually care about the head castings)

Before or after they over-machine them and are disqualified?
