Replacing 1.6 A/C with 2.0 A/C?

Is it straightforward to replace a 1.6 A/C engine with a 2.0 A/C or will many bits need changing?

Hi Oxford guy,

try sticking this in technical....and do a search too - it has been discussed recently, and there are a couple of members who have done it.

If you get a complete 2L with all tinware, carbs etc etc etc then its an "easy" swap.. but you may want to get the gearbox from a 2L too.. as this has taller gearing than the 1600.
None of the 1600 stuff fits the 2L...
You may also want tio check you have a servo assist on the brakes.. as witht he 2L stopping will become a need rather than something you only have to do occasionally with the 1600

Okay, thanks for the tips, sounds like it could end up being expensive...

If you think going to a 2l sounds expensive

Wait till you start spending money on the 1600 CT..........
