356B super head question

I just aquired a 1959 356B coupe originally exported from Germany to Korea, then to USA in 1976. The engine is a very low (I do believe the 33,000KM) mileage super that was taken apart by a previous moron to build it up (it was running fine!). The heads are the only parts that are missing as the moron forgot where they took them for machining!

I want to know since I have the rocker hardware, covers, springs and most everything but the bare heads, are the bare heads all the same for normal, s, and s90 engines? Do the valves change? I have some NOS valves with readable numbers that I would like to use.

Frankly, I am not overly concerned with getting the exact performance from this but just a good runner. I have the proper barrels and pistons.

Please feel free to detail the full difference in the three types as it will help others also (or maybe this information is somewhere on the net?).
Also, is the cam the same for the three types? Thanks for your help, it is a bit annoying to put a motor back together that you did not take apart so I want to be reasonably sure as I go.
Thanks,
