Does it fit?: 1.8 16V head on ABA 2.0 block

[worldcyclist@earthlink.net (worldcyclist)]

I've played with compression ratios a bit and would prefer to be closer to 9
to 1, since i have no plans on running over 1 bar boost.
Does anyone know the head volume of a 16V combustion chamber, so i can do
some calculations?
Thanks,
Gary
