[QUOTE="joedrum, post: 74063, member: 98"] Well I got my daughter to ebay some early 76 1000 heads with the hotter cams in them....I wish I could find the money to get an early carb rack preferably a 75 carb rack .......its starting to become clear to me that the 1100 heads can be switched to the 1000 design. it looks like the 1000 ignition stuff will fit on the 1100 heads .....i haven't looked into this real thoroughly yet but its seems so.... The pistons on an 1100 are 3mm bigger than the 1000 and about 1/2mm smaller than 1200 pistons....it seems that 1100 heads are 1000 heads that have been cut wider to the outside area where the pistons are bigger....I'm thinking i might be better off to use the 1100 heads with the 1000 cams and ignition installed in them. There might have been some change in the 1100 head to work better than the 1000 head ...it for sure adds a little more room but not much, but some ....I'm sure it could lower the compression ratio some .....and the 1000 would raise a little...hard to say what would be best..... i still need to get a starter for the 1200 or figure out if the 1100 starter will work....and i need clutch slave cylinder and master clylinder lever and hose.....
