At any rate, if we assume that the "REAL" volume of the 1500 block is in
fact 1489.3798cc rather than 1493 based on a bore of 2.9" diameter and a
stroke of 3.440", then boring out would yield..

0.010" over - 1499.669cc (a "real" 1500)
0.020" over - 1509.994cc (a "peppy" 1500)
0.030" over - 1520.354cc (a 1500 with "kick")
0.040" over - 1530.749cc (as close to 1600 as you're gonna git)

whew!  my TI's sweatin'! :)
