Mark,
I feel the 1500 engine is a great engine. Great torque across the
entire range. I would definately rebuild it. My 1500 has been
extremely reliable, parts availibilty excellent, easily maintained. If
it weren't for the fact that a GT6+ engine is going into the Spit, it
would still be there. For the time being, when the Vitesse gets painted
and put back together, I may put the Spit 1500 engine in it.
Hope this helps.
