Block, Con rods and bearings big ends little ends are all the same for the
late 1300's and 1500's.
Head gasguet oil holes are the same (they may be made of different stuff)
It's the didstance between the small end and the top of the piston that
chainges.
Oh and if you put a 1500 9:1 head on a 1300 you get 7.8:1.
The other thing is if you compair two engins in situe and are asked to
identify the crank you are
hard pressed to tell the difference.
Of cource drive the car and the fact you can drive around town and
accelerate from 20 to 30MPH in 4th with out any effort tells you you aint go
the 1300.
