the engine number will tell you what it started off as but it could of been rebuilt since then with bigger pistons

im going to get one tomorrow and the old man said i needed to know what the engine size is

oh so its not the 1500 like the badge says then.. is there aby way i can tell if it is the 1300 or 1600?

you have to measure the bores of the barrels, and to do that its a motor out and heads off job
