Not sure just how the blocks are different but I think they must be.
The pin to piston top heights are different from the 1.5 to 1.6. I
remember checking out the differences when 1.5 pistons started
getting scarce. They're now nearly non-existent. I'd never try
to rebuild a 1.5 to a 1.6 IF it WOULD work. The head bolt holes
are simply more easy to crack. It'd never survive boring to a 1.9
most likely.
