Yeah, the engine is different :-)
Sorry, sorry....
The engine, tranny, driveshaft is different. I think the tranny mount, too.
The rear end is different. Higher ratio (3.9 vs 3.7), to gain a little more
top end.
The shifter plate in the cab is different. Hole is slightly forward and it
has the 5-speed pattern plate on it (the body has an elongated oval
and a plate welded in to accomodate either 4- or 5-speed setups).
The tach (0-8000 vs 0-6000) and speedo (0-140/0-160 vs 0-120)
are different.
I believe the exhaust pipe is larger. 1-3/4 vs 1-1/2? I don't think
the 1600 had the resonator and flare tip, either, but I'm not sure.
