O.K.
New guy here.  Owner of a '59 with a tired old 1098.  I have been
looking
at pumping up a 1275.  Will a 1500 fit in a Mk 1?  I've never actually 
looked at a 1500 to see if I can put it in the engine bay.  
I know I'll get lots of emails back telling me the 1275 can produce much
more horsepower, but I'm still curious.
