No problem with 1275 head, It's been done so many times.
My mate has just done an MG midget with similar components.

Take car with the head gasket in the area between the centre bores where he head as the brass plug --- most of the cooking 1275 engines I ecountered blew gaskets in this area --- brass plug used to sink into the head.
