James,
In looking through the VB parts catalog, it appears that you may be
right. The main bearings come in two flavors 62-70 and 71-80. This
overlaps the 1300 engine. Therefore, it appears that the early 1300
shares a common main bearing with the 1147 and the later 1300 shares a
common main bearing with the 1500. The same thing seems to be the case
with the rods, So if you have a late 1300 engine, the rods would seem to
be the same as the 1500.
