bandit1200 head on 1150

[BLT1]

I have a 85 1150 that the cams froze up in and tore up the cam saddles and caps. I also have access to a good bandit 1200 head. Would this be a good economical swap and what would I need. I have read other threads on this for 1100's but not an 1150. What do y'all think?

1100/1150 = same animal.

on an 1100 you need 1150 studs and head retainer nuts, so I would think that it would be easier on your 1150

Appreciate the input guys. So I do not need longer studs the 1150m head bolts should work, I know the 1100.s need the longer bolts?

Any performance advantage here?

I've never heard of if tell you the truth. I've got an oil cooled slingshot gsxr750 head in my shed that I am thinking about installing on my 1100. Much smaller combustion chamber, bigger valves, better cams etc.
