yes it will fit and work fine :)

The 1.6 block is actually a 1.8 block with fiddled with pistons & crank to reduce the capacity to 1.6.  It even has 1.8 cast onto the side of it :grin:

What are your plans for it, you planning to convert it to injection?  If not you have to block the injector holes somehow (leaving the injectors in will do the job) and also worry about heating the inlet manifold as the injection head does not have a coolant channel hole.
