390 2v heads on a 428?

Can anyone tell me whether there is any real differance in port size and valves on my C8AE-H 390 2V heads and the regular passenger car 428 heads? Every book I've got lists the C8AE-H under a differant application. Unfortunatly I snapped a rod bolt while putting in new bearings today. (Thank you mister new Craftsman torque wrench!). While I could pull the head, fish out the rod and put in new bolts. I think that it would be better to take my collection of swap meet 428 parts down to the machine shop and just replace the 3902V with a fresh 428. This car will be used for towing on the interstate so upper midrange power is important. If the C8AE heads are also correct for the passenger car 428 I will have them rebuilt and use them.
This thread, so far...

 Its a somewhat restricted head, but kosher on a 428 [n/m] -- Mr F, 09/18/2000
