Trevor,
I have both the first and second editions of the book (both worth having),
and your hunch is correct. Since the book is largely based on the autor's
personel experiences and he has a 1275, there is not much there in the
ingine department for the 1500. However, he stresses that his chapter on
engines is to be read in addition to Vizard's book, so his engine chapter
is thin anyway. I love the book mainly for the suspension info and that
would apply to you too.
Tip: Go to a bookstore that carries it (Barnes & Noble if you are in the
US) and check it out.
If you have any specific questions about what the book covers, let me
know and I'll look it up.
Spritely,
