Hey guys. I discovered I need new heads. Are the sp heads the same for 1500 and 1600? Or do I need to do some measuring to make sure I am getting the right thing. My parents had my motor rebuilt for me when they bought me the car in high school 13 years ago and I do not remember if it was kept at a 1500 or bumped up to 1600 The ID of the jug is coming out to about 85 mm if that helps

1600 = 85.5mm pistons

And do I have to find heads with the same part number or just make sure it is a single port head with a bore of 94 mm
