or unless any of y'all have a decent price 1600 engine

Doesnt seem like too bad of a price. If you currently have a 1200cc motor though, keep in mind you will need a new dual port manifold and probably a bigger carb then your current one. You will also need some new engine tin as well. Looks to be a longblock price so you will need existing parts from your motor to swap over.

left over from my 74 I used to have, and when bought this 65 the owner had a 1500 engine

I see that ad all the time on Craigslist.  I know nothing about them though.  Seems like a decent price for a fresh engine.
