Probably the most important thing is 'what are you trying to accomplish'... Some very basic technical info might be pin diameters, dome / crown height, and skirt length. It is certainly much simpler to have a custom piston made than to find a piston which 'may fit'

I'm going as far out as a 1608 can be built
Or maybe I should take the 2.0 out of the 80and use that to the limit,and put the 1608 I have in the 80

Ahhh yes. Well you know what they say.... 'linear performance is directly proportional to rectangular dollars"

If you are looking to maximize power, then definitely go with the 2.0L That engine is 25% larger than an 1608, and the same mods on it that you plan for the 1608 will produce far more power. Size does matter.
