Dieselcast welding. They have a god web page. You can run the 7.3 heads on any 6.9 by removing the freeze plugs in the heads that covers the coolant passages in the lower corners. Several members have run the 6.9 head gaskets on the 7.3 by opening up these coolant passages too. No issues either. The 6.9 & 7.3 in drilled the same. Even have the same coolant passages.
