Default LR Zetec Head

Does anyone know if the LR's Zetec engine Head will fit on the Fiesta's Zetec. Like replace the Head on my 1.6ltr Zetec SE engine...

im after a direct swap. id rather not modify the heads. im just looking into it.. the thought crossed my mind. and yes i understand about pistons and rods and all..

just asking!

*flame suit on*

btw. forgive if its a Stupid question. ive had 5 hours sleep in 2 days...
probably not thinking straight!
