Dave,
The 1500 head is about 5/8" from the combustion chamber to the deck.
The 1296 head is only about 3/8". In other words, you'd have to shave about a
quarter inch off a 1500 head to create the same compression as a 1300
head.
Measure first, though to see if the head has previously been shaved. It is
much easier to take a little more off than add metal back on!
