haha yeah ok now comes the questions. LOL.
Ok does a 1275 set of rockers fit onto a 12g295 head?

Simple answer, no they do not simply bolt on. The valves are in a different spot compared to a small bore. You can modify them to fit no worries. I think it's all to do with the spacing of the springs or something.

Are you doing anything special to the 295 head? I love them, they are an awesome head.

no port plans for it just keeping it std, but i realy would like to have it running with Roller rockers(need to get), Re13 , light flywheel, weber carby, no fan attached and a electric fan fitted, fresh pistons, unsure of what other stuff i have in storage for it. just keeping it a nice maintainable small block 998. the car it self needs a good old freshen up and heavy duty work on those brakes and i would also like to get it re wired (any one know a good Auto leky in Rockhampton?)
