Default RT Heads on Dodge Ram?

This might be a really stupid question... Will rt heads from a dakota with the 5.9 fit on my truck with the 5.9? I was wondering if anyone has done this. I've done a quick search and haven't been able to find anything.

Any help would be great. Thanks

I read somewhere that they were an improvement over the stock ones but that person didnt know what they were talking about. I did a search on another forum to confirm that they are the same part number. I just believed what i read without doing any research. Sorry for the confusion.

The R/T daks do not have the Mopar Performance R/T heads. The came I believe was the R/T +10 cam and they did run a different tune and had a bit different exhaust, IIRC.
