[Spridgets] Holy Headache

[Bill Masquelier]

The "206" and the "295" heads are close to identical, one was Spridget and one
MG1100 if I remember correctly. They are both great for small block engines.
If you put a 1275 head on a small block then you need to "eyebrow" the block
or the valves will clash the block.
Do the 295 head and be happy.
