The power difference was mostly a matter of larger displacement in the short block (bore x stroke of 85 x 88 mm vs. 86.5 x 100 mm) and also fuel injection, so just swapping the 8v SOHC heads won't make much if any difference in power unless maybe the 4G64 head has a smaller combustion chamber, which would raise your effective compression ratio slightly.
I'd expect the 4G64 head gasket to have a slightly larger cylinder diameter to match that bore, so use the 4G63/G63B (the B variant indicates a jet-valve head AFAICT) head gasket to match your block bore diameter. Also check that the 4G64 combustion chamber is fully enclosed within the G63 gasket's cylinder diameter when you line up that gasket against it, and also compare the coolant and oil gallery passages. If the deck-to-cam-center distance is the same for both, the G63 belt should prolly work.
