shave the head as much as you can, increase's compression heaps and makes a very big difference to performance and economy. you can also put holes in the head just above every exhaust port at the manifold mount plate, screw in a nipple in each and plumb it back to your top radiator hose.
other than that, port match it and bolt it all back up.

it releives the super heated water from the water jackets above the exhaust ports.

I have seen the same done on TD42's also. Main reason gets rid of hot spots in the head.
