Hello,

Would a head from a '65 1500 engine fit my '72 1300 engine?
The engine is the later-type 1300, which uses the 1500-style
head gasket.

The '76 cars were supposed to have 9:1 compression, and
(possibly with a bit of milling), I could have a high-compression
head for my car without messing up the original one...
