<x-charset iso-8859-1>Neil=> What was the engine on the '65 1500S?

Single-port heads, domed pistons, dual carbs w/22mm venturis.

=> Is it worth it to do this?

The 1500S is a little more expensive to build and probably a little fussier
given the higher compression, and as I understand it makes a bit less power
than the 1600. As far as I know there's no way to tell the difference by
looking at them. So as I see it what you get is bragging rights and a good
understanding of how a fairly rare motor performs against constant attention
to fuel quality and higher build cost.
