Strat question about necks and MIM MIK MIJ USA

[Docrock]

Will a MIJ neck fit perfect on a MIM body? Ive been saving this MIK neck lately and bought a MIM body...it doesnt fit. I found a MIJ neck, but its ebay and I wonder if it will work. Only those that know the truth for sure apply. Thanks CYA on the LBC fo yo FYI

Is the neck pocket completely different?

If it fits in the pocket, why not just plug the holes in the neck and redrill new holes that match up with the body?

Actually the pocket isnt deep enough....meaning the saddles will have to be sky high and the strings just feel odd when they are up that high, its a good 1/8 inch to shallow, besides the neck holes not lining up. I dont own or know anyone with a router and this body is too nice to chance it.
