Yeah, the only difference between that and a 1.6 is the 1.9 has a higher deck height that allows for more stroke, and a larger bore. Apparently, the block is beefier also, but I didn't compare the blocks that much when I swapped them. The 1.9 is also a lot more popular over here. The cam bearings are different between the 1.6 and 1.9 heads, and we also have a few non hemi heads over here that I don't know if y'all got over there.
