yes the 1.6 cam will fit! it even fits in the 1.2, a 1.2 is able to keep up with a 1.4 with it done! as the valves are open more and longer!

nice one! i got the 1.4 single point injection, is it worth gettin a 1.6 single point throttle body and ecu to balance out the fueling?

you need a cam from a bigger version of your engine and your engine is a 8v you MUST use a bigger 8v cam! try looking for cavaliers in scrappys!
you dont need to get the SPI unit, but you can fit the 1.6 throttle body(not the injctor) also you can keep your SPI unit and change for the bigger inlet manifold for a bit of a performance increase :D
