It depends on the lift and duration of the cam in question, that is if it fits in at all.

IIRC it does do a little bit, theres a thread over on PNG about 1.2 8v tuning, and it mentions swapping for a 1.6 cam and using a 1.3 or 1.4 head i think

i have a 1.4 head to go on mine surely a 1.6 cam has too much lift and valves would hit the pistons
