Crank swap ?

[Smallfry]

Does anyone know if you can put a 1500 crankshaft........large journal obviously, into a large crank 1300 block ? I know the conrods are the same, so that would mean the gudgeon pin height in the pistons is the only difference ?

Bulges were added to the side of the 1500 block because of the longer throw of the 1500 crank. The block MAY have been commonised with the late 1300 engines in the Dolomite, but that is a guess, someone else may know better.
Cheers,
Bill.

I believe that the late 1300s did have the bulges...
