Thanks for the advice guys :) I fancy the skimmed head route as the valves as far as I remember are slightly larger, and the head also allows the use of inch and half SUs, not just inch and a quarter.  (Open to being wrong on that one!) As I don't have a 1300 head to hand, I need to find out how much to skim off, I'm sure I remember a site that either had exact measurements or a quick rule formula. I would guess around 2mm to 3mm, but do you have any robust ideas? Thanks again Dan

Hello there, I have recently come into a complete small crank GE 1300 engine block, and I have a near complete late 1500 cylinder head spare, not a 1300. I am going to be stripping it down and rebuilding from scratch, but I am wondering what tweaks I would need to consider to marry the two - (i.e. skimming / timing advance/retardation etc / NOTHING!)... Hoping to work on the back of others experience or expert opinion! Any advice would be very welcome! Thanks Dan
