> Are all 1500 3 main journal cranks and 1600 5 mains?
No, early 1600's were also 3-main. I believe 67.5 and later 1600's were 5-main
(engine# R-40001 on).
> Are all 1500 gearboxes 4 speeds and 1600's 5 speeds?
No, only the 2000's got the 5-speed.
> Are all 1500 heads iron and 1600's aluminium?
No, 1600's up through engine# R-10605 had cast iron heads.
> Will a 1600 cam fit a 1500 block?
I don't know, but it might. The R-16 was based on the G-15 block, and the G-15
is supposed to be nearly identical to the 3-main R-16.

That would be Gary Boone.
