Pretty close, it started as one when it was pushrod, but evolved drasticly. It is probably possible to adapt a set of heads to a small block, however there are more head studs and I'm not sure of the pattern.
Ford made some experimental heads back in the 60s for the SB, but never saw production. One had a similar set up as the Pontiac cammer 6,with tensioners and rockers, much like what was used on the 2.0 and 2.3 OHC 4s.
