Default Eletrical gremlins

My buddy recently had a Z6 head swapped onto his D16A6 block and now when ever he slips the clutch or gives it gas the headlights lose power and dull down.

The headlights are full power when he keeps a consistent rpm.

Any assistance is appreciated thanks.

Possibly ignition wire is somehow losing juice - I have no idea how that could happen from a swap.

Start with the regulator on the alternator/output cable/proper grounds. Are the headlights dimming or shutting off completely?
