A JX head would probably fit ok.
What's wrong with the head you've got? |

haha! its cracked between all the valves, plus another small crack from one valve toward the injector hole.
The van still ran ok, I was only doing the exhaust when I saw that the exhaust face needed machining so took the head off for that and found it was cracked. Oh and i had a pitted piston too.

You`ll be lucky to find a decent JX head unless you get a new or re-conned one, you can buy a new bare non-VW head from a few places, worth a Google. Just transfer your good bits into the bare head, grind the valves in etc. Cracking is common due to overheating.
