Why??? The 1.6 CVH was the standard engine in the MK2 XR2 and they didn't cut anything @Ford before they put the engine in.

I KNOW there will be no problem with the fuel tank. Earlier 1.1s might have the smaller fuel tank, but they will also work fine with the 1.6 CVH engine.
@MK2Fez: body shell XR2 and non XR2 are the same, except
- holes for the bodykit
- rolled rear arches
- boot floor (bulge for wider 185/60R13 spare wheel)
and maybe holes for higher spec door cards, mounting bracket for light/clock (if your car is a low spec one)
Just make sure you use the XR2 engine mount and the XR2 gearbox bracket!
