I asked a similar question a while backfor my '86 90 2.5NA, here is the reply i received:-

"TD and NA heads are exactly the same as each other, although the part number (for both) changes on later engines around 89/90. SO it might be worth trying to find out if this is off a later engine. Engine number would be ideal."

I seem to remember someone mentioning that the TD head would be for a higher compression - but i am by no means an expert, hopefully somone on here can help.

gday mate. the heads r interchangable,but the swirl chambers r larger on td head,which means a slight loss of power,but still goes better than the n/a lump.
