Cant see why not its basically the same engine, jus been tweaked to give 5 more bhp (if i remember correctly) than the mk2 one.
Why are you looking to change it though? personally if i was changing the engine cous the current one was knackered i would put in a bigger one anyway (maybe the mk2b sporting 1.4). . but if i just wanted more speed your better buying a car with the engine you want already
