all external parts are the same, the only difference between 1300 & 1600 is the block is about an inch taller...
Did you pick up a twin barrel webber carbie at the same time? in early 1600 is was the GT carbie, later model MK2's had them as well

cheers mate

Rob
gearbox, head, waterpump, manifolds alternator, carbie, sump, dizzy, cam, followers
the engines are the same bar the 1600 has a longer stroke
you just need to match the same style of head to the pistons - what I mean is if you have a flat head, you will have dished pistons, if you have a head with combustion chambers you will have flat top pistons.. thats about the main thing to consider if you are swapping heads etc
(I have to have another look, I think I saw a twin barrel carbie in a box of crape, if its for a 1600 & you dont have one, its yours...)

cheers

As long as you use the same types of Pistons you should have the same compression ratio as a minimum - with the flat cyclinder head the compression ration is gained from the block & piston height
