The mk3 1.6s engine is exactly the same as the xr2 engine, and will fit in perfectly! Dont know about the wiring though!

i dont think the radiator fits
as for wiring, seeing as its a carb there arent many conenctions to the actual engine - It needs power from a coil, an earth strap, a wire from the temp sender, oil pressure wire, and on some a wire to the carb for the fuel cutoff valve.
