I have a single 2L 3/4 head which has a hairline crack extending a little way from the valve... dunno if it is any use to you, but i thought it my be worthwhile mentioning it anyway :)... I've heard that heads can be welded, but not sure of the finer details. Also I have a feeling that the valves may be different sizes.

Anyway though, do some homework and act accordingly..

:D Cheers

I've got one 1800 head, bought by mistake (I thought it was a 1700). It was sold to me as "good used". It looks OK, no cracks that I can see. It may have a stud or two missing (I needed a couple for my 1700 heads).
I can email pics if you want.

You can also tell by the casting number (it is beneath the rocker shaft) what the head was originally.
This should answer most of your questions:
