hi all I have a 1992 escudo with the 8v injected 1600. its about to die and I can get hold of a 16v 1600 but minus alternator starter motor, exhaust manifold and powersteering pump. I was wanting know know can I use all the boltons from my 8v to replace the missing parts on the 16v??? how much of the two enigines are interchangeable? and also will the 16v bolt straight up to the 8v gbox and clutch etc? any help would be much appreciated.

Everything should be fine except for the manifold, they are different. You do realise that there will be a bit of wiring to do? If the head on your motor is good you could swap it over, avoids the manifold issue and the wiring.

What kind of wiring? is there that much of a difference between the loom from 8v to 16v that itl be a issue?

I think you will find the allt and p/steer mount brackets are different between the 8v and 16v , the actual units are the same . So make sure it has the mounts .
The ecu and loom for the 8v is completely different to the 16v and would have to be swapped over and wired in .
