Its not the head you have to worry about but the oil pump cover. Almost always, the front cover is taller than the block itself. Could potentially give the #1 cylinder sealing issues when you go to a Metal headgasket. If you dont plan on doing decking the block to match the front cover, a fresh stock headgasket and ARP studs does wonders.
