Kitch 4 Posted May 28, 2007 Bit of an odd one here. I've basically got hold of an old Citroen (1985) that has a 1.6 XU5 carb-fed engine. The cambelt has snapped and I'm pretty sure the valves are all smashed, although I haven't yet inspected it. I'm told 1.6 XU5 carb-fed heads are thin on the ground for these cars, so I was wondering if: 1) A 1.9 carb-fed head would fit, and are they easier to source? 2) If a carb-fed head can be easily (ish) replaced with a much easier to find injected head, like a 205 GTi or something 3) The same can be applied to the block, just incase it's smashed some pistons too. Many thanks in advance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pug309twin40s 1 Posted May 29, 2007 i take it the engine is the same as used in the 309 1.6 carbs? if so i have a 309 1.6 carb auto with 54k miles you can have the engine from. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
