Can't one put a 1275 in a 1500 engine bay? (but not the other way around [as 
if you'd want to!])
At least then its still 'genetically pure'(???)
I tells ya, the way my 1098 is running these days, putting out more power 
than I ever expected from it, makes me REALLY want a 1275 with the same 
tweaks.
