The head changed in '75. The loss of spark plug tubes meat the loss of easy access to the lifters.

Not so, you should be able to remove the lifters without removing the head with a '80 or later head.

I believe '81 was the latest (hydro) head with larger pushrod holes, just bigger than lifters. '76-81 was one with small pushrod holes and no drool tubes.

I have an '80 head seating on the floor that you can slip the lifters thru. The '79 head that is currently on my engine you can not.
