cylinder head

I received a cylinder head and cover in a parts lot that I purchased. The question is? Is there a difference in the cylinder head from a 1976 KZ900 to the cylinder head of an early KZ 1000 years 1977 to 80. Thanks for reply.
I have a 1980 Kawasaki KZ750 Ltd. I bought new. I recently managed to get it out of my garage after 28 years and put it on the road again (2010). I feel like a kid all over again. Since I have acquired 3 78 KZ1000 Ltd, 1 1981 KZ1000 Ltd, and another 1980 KZ750 Ltd. Love the LTD's.
