I've got a running 1986 DL, EA82 Carb'd engine, crappy interior, bad heater core, doesn't run very good, leaking oil. I've also got a 1987 GL SPFI Turbo wagon with cracked heads that was supposed to be a good running rig. The GL is complete, the guy I got it from had water in it, and last winter it froze.

 

I figure if I'm going to replace the head gaskets, why not put the good heads from the DL into the GL. Is there any difference in the heads between these 2 EA82 engines? Thanks in advance for your help, nothing better than a bunch of like minded subers to get a straight answer from.

The turbo is a MPFI it will have different (2 holes per head) intake ports. The carbed motor will only have 1 hole per head. They will not work for what you want to do, unless you are really creative and want to create a carbed turbo setup, or just carb only. I would try to find a set of MPFI heads first.
