One of the other guys just transplanted a 1600 of later vintage into his. I have 131,000 miles on mine. I had to go through the transmission at 125,000 because of a noisy/worn mainshaft bearing. The engine components, themselves are all original, pistons/crank/bearings, valves are untouched. The only issue was a bad bearing in the trans, so I'd say they are pretty bulletproof.

I always like to get spares for bikes I own and I was going g to get a spare engine. If can't fi d a VN1500 engine, will a VN1600 fit with few if any mods? As I'm not familiar with the bike, I don't know what the reliability and the long term mileage will be. Cheers.
