One thing to watch out for in swapping Spit 1300 and 1500 heads back and forth is that the Spit block changed to (or from?) a "recessed" bore when the TR6 did. There's two kinds of Spit block, like there's two kinds of TR6 block and they take a different type of head gasket. If you use the wrong kind, it will leak. My guess is this change happened when the Spit and the TR6 engines were "semi-rationalized" somewhere in the MKIV era....
