you have to take the block out to rebore it anyway 
just replace it with a 1600 block

Ideally i think swapping it for the 8V would be more straight forward cause i think if you swap to 16V i think there maybe some mount conflictions unless you buy new and maybe fuel line/pump issues aswell!?!?
Not 100% mind.

reboring is not a cheap way to gain more power, as there is alot more that goes with it. u will need to up the fueling, etc etc also.
i do believe that the 1.6 8v (e16se) from a nova gsi/gte is a direct swap i engine wise altho u might need to change the loom.
