Default 1.8 CVH Crank

Can a 1.8 CVH crank be used in a 1.6 cvh to give a longer stroke increasing CC?

Short answer, yes. needs mods to fit, plus 1800 rods, etc. better off just sticking the 1800 block in there

The 1800 block is the same as the american 1900 but with smaller pistons, so the bore walls are actually thickers, There supposed to be thicker than the 1600 aswell, I have an 1800turbo in my XR2, it was built by Ferriday engineer.
Do a search on Google for Ferriday and contact Mike, he knows the in's and out's of them. There a lot better than people give credit for.
Mine runs cossie managment, 7.5-1 pistons, T34 (.48 housing) Greens, 3bar MAP etc, It made 192bhp on just 8 psi (with a shitty run in T3 turbo), on 23 psi it's fucking mental
