Location: Netherlands		ANY bigblock head will fit, 'xcept for the MaxWedge heads. but it seems doubtful you will stumble onto a pair of these.
Newer heads will require 'matching'/more common 6-bolt valvecovers though.

Location: Alaska		There is also a difference in the rocker shaft stands in about 64-66 (don't remember for sure) so need matching rocker stands.

Location: Ramona, CA		What's the bore on an RB 383? There are heads with smaller valves. My '60 413 heads are casting number 2128521 and have 2.08" intake valves and 1.60" exhaust. You probably need something from a 361 or RB 383.

Here's another site with casting numbers and specs - http://www.hotrodreference.com/758/big-block-mopar-cylinder-head-ca...

My 300F has 1964 heads on it with the removable rocker stands and 6-bolt valve covers. Eventually I'll put the right heads back on it.
