There were 2 1600s. A 1592 (132 AC 000) and a 1608 (125 BC 000). The bore on both is 80 mm, they differ in stroke. The 1756 has a 84 mm bore. I don't think the 1600s can be bored to 84. So you would need at minimum a new block and pistons. The 1592 has the same stroke as the 1756. It's easier to get a different engine.
