i was wondering, besides the obvious(2 extra valves per cylinder, and power) what is the difference between the 1.4 8v, and its 16v counterpart...are they the same block with 2 different heads, or two different engines

Pretty much the same bottom end, subtle differences.

would not be possible to change the heads, all 16v's were MPI, 8v's were SPI and MPI, so that complicates things.

if you have a 8v 1.4MPI, you can get away with fittin a 1.6 head from a nova GTE from what I'm told
