Me and PeteR and Mart were talking about this at the last meet and yes as far as I know the 1.8 head will give a highter compression ratio and has better flow, so is an easy way of getting more grunt.

PM PeteR as he's got a worked 1.8 head for sale (ported and skimmed I think);) :D

Marts the expert though, probably best to mail him first and ask.

i used to run a B reg 1800 sri cav with the 1800e engine
i fitted a 2.0 bottom end out of a 1990 sri mated to the 1800 head using the 2.0 head gasket, timing belt and head bolts
it was a flying machine
highly recommended mod
it will mean using the 1800e inlet and injection system though as it is different to the 2.0
