yeah, the combustion chambers are too small as the 2.0 bore is loads bigger, best to use the full engine, a std 2.0 head will flow more than a worked on 1600 anyway, they have tiny ports

best to ask who made the cams and see if the same cams are listed for the 2l engines, would be the easiest way id imagine.
