Rob,

I'm not convinced that "No" is the correct answer. The inlet issue can be
worked around with differnet outlets, and a 1098 head would have smaller
valves than a 1275. There IS I believe valve clearance issues putting a
1275 on a 1098 block, but I don't see what it would be a problem in
reverse. If you have both available, slip it on and compare hole
alignments. Some of the race guys will probly know positively.
