Just wondering if each of these kits use the same piston or if I will have to get a different piston to go from the race head back to a stock head.

The pistons are different if you are using a stock 50 head. The xr70 head uses the same piston as a Racehead though.

Is the TB race head basically the same as a XR 70 head (valve sizes ete.)?

You could use it but you would have no compression. You might not even have enough compression for the motor to run.
