    Tap an E16 engine number into it... that would make it externally identifiable as an E16

    I had heard they use the Z18XE head, but that's actually entirely different, looks more like a late X16XEL evolution.

    Why the VXR head specifically btw, an x16xe head would fulfill the requirements?

    those extra chunks sort of mess it up..

    didn't tom reid fit all the mucky bits into a 1600 ecotec?? you could get round it that way, as the 8v block fits the 1600 head.

    the 1800 heads are streets ahead (‘scuse the pun) of the 1600xe variants, 5mm valve train as stock, better port design and angles, and the breathers are cast internally to the block so fitting one to an earlier block is not so simple as the head gasket faces are quite different as i’m sure you can see colin
    you can fit all the 1800 crank/pistons etc into a 1600 block but you will need to machine the crank case to clear the crank webs/rods at half stroke
