will a scirocco motor work in a passat?

[raveracer77 at yahoo.ca (Rave Racer 77)]

I get my PL head back sometime after the 9th of June at which point my Jetta 
comes off the road for a Tranny swap and head swap.  I haven't done the swap 
yet but I have a freind with this experience who's helping me out and if I 
encounter any issues I'll be sure to let you know.  From what I understand 
the only differences in the heads are in the shapes of the cavities ie: 
intake / exaust ports and combustion chamber.
