RE: 2.0 16v opinions

<x-charset windows-1252>It all depends on how much work you want to do. You could swap in a 2.0l 16v
tallblock and retain standard CIS-E. And the 2.0l 16v's came with CIS-E
motronic, which I believe there is a way to wire it in without moving the
injection, but I don't know if that would have adverse affects. I am still
trying to get the guy that did it to talk!

I am doing my swap the simple way. I am having a complete 2.0l 16v longblock
rebuilt with porting polishing etc, or if I can't find a complete longblock
at a decent price, I will pickup a 1.8l 16v head to have rebuilt along with
a 2.0l shortblock so I can still drive my car.

There have been quite a few posts lately about doing the 2.0 liter 16v.  I
have heard so many different thoughts and different possibilities for this
swap that I was hoping to get a general opinion on what would be the best.
I have a 1.8 16v rocco (cis-e) that I would love to upgrade to a 2.0

I've heard of getting a 2.0 bottom end and keeping the 1.8 head...this is
so I could maintain the cis-e injection, right?
The other option is to swap engines (get a 2.0 tall block?)...this would
require changing over to motronic injection?

I just wondered what the *best* way to do this would be...
Are there big advantages either way (is motronic better than cis-e?)

Just trying to clear up some confusion...at least with me!

TIA
