the main issue is with the oil pumps. the 1800 has a larger one, apparently. i only found this out recently, after i got hold of a crank, pistons & rods.

Tbh id of thought using the 16se block, the 16se pump will be fine also. Could always fit a few washers behind the relief to up o/p or fit some steel pumpgears if going to be reving it quite high(above 7.5k)
no, its more to do with the size of the 2 flats on the crank. i'm trying to get a pump at the moment to find out.
i managed to get a block in work and done loads of different things but i am using full xe1 bottom end with my e16se head i had block 3 oil galleries and i have got a gasket coming that will block 2 water galleries and ill have to ma a new engine mount but apart from that i think am good to go :-)
seems fair enough
