Dave,
The main difference is the thickness. The 1296 heads are much thinner and
therefore if used on a 1500 will have a much higher compression ratio.
(Too high in most cases)!
Of course, there are other differences as well, like the size of the valves.
Those things vary even among 1500 heads, as did things like the presence
or absence of air rail ports.
