If it was me i would probably use the 2.0L head, i would get some expert advice on how much to skim off it, and the type/ thickness of head gasket to use, i would clean/ smooth out and polish the combustion chamber and all ports, and match them to the inlet/ exhaust manifolds

really depends what you want to do/ how much you want to spend

i might use (1 grade) colder plugs and run the engine a little richer (bigger jets etc)
