I don't think that's a 1500. Looks like a six port head.

I'm no Triumph expert, but I agree- not a 1500. I can't imagine why anyone in their right mind would put a 1500 in an earlier car.

Be neat if it had a log book . . . kind of neat anyway but also kind of a lot of money.

Because it basically bolts right in, and if you have a broken 1147 and a running 1500 ....

Why would someone put a 327 into a Chevy that came with a 283?

The 327 wasn't exactly a bad engine.

...but the 1500.... Let's just say hard to understate it's poor reputation
