Ive googled the bottom end but came up with this post... 'I'm pretty sure the only difference between the 8v and 16v block is an oil flow restrictor on the back of the 16v block in the main oil gallery (helps feed the 16v head with extra oil) that you'll need to fit to the 8v' :S

i know for a fact that the crank & bearings will fit ok, not sure about the oil thingy though
Its gotta be easier to find an xe bottom end anyway,no point chancing it.
XE bottom ends seem to fetch stupid money on eBay for some reason?!
Really?! i sold a let block last year for about £20
Seriously mate, I put a freshly +0.5 overbored bare block on eBay & was getting messages from people offering my £150 to end the auction easrly :S After 3 days it was just under £100.
The words 'Boat' and 'Anchor' spring to mind
i thought that was the 1.0 ohv......
