Default RS Turbo EFI Cylinder Heads

Morning all.
Probably a silly question but apart from the cam is there any difference between an XR3I EFI CVH head and Fiesta RS Turbo EFI Head?
I have a spare XR3I EFI CVH head and wonder if I can build it up with the right cam to put onto Fiesta RS TURBO BLOCK.
Thanks

There is even some speculation that the xr2i/frst cams are the same or at least can be used vice-versa...

All 1.6 CVH hydraulic cam/lifters are the same, there is only one part number for them all at Ford.

There is only one order number for them all NOW. That means that they are interchangeable. Originally there were several different ones. Still I seem to recall that the efi and efi turbo cams used the same cam profile. However, the cam wheel is probably with different timing as this was the case in older cvh engines too.
