will bolt right in....all the vulcan 1500 engines in those years are interchangeable..sometimes the ecm has slightly different programming, but you can even use a 1600 if you want

I think some of the cams are different on 1500 engines, presumably 1600 engines too.  I'm curious what the effect of running an original ECM with a different 1500 or 1600 engine are.
