It looks like I have the same low compression head as the one on the car at the moment but will measure the original one when I swap over and only then machine the head to suit using the.85 gasket if needed.
The head will be needing new valves and probably guides as well. As i only paid £40 for the head and have had work done by the same chap for many years on race engines i built. its going to be by far the cheapest alternative. Plus i know and trust his work over anybody else ive used and he is local and old school.
A while back in time I used a very well know UK company to work on a multi valve head and they miss read the valve clearances mixing thous for metric...never again I now go to who i know and trust.
