What's the external size difference between 1600 & 2000 Pinto SOHC ?

I've had a 1600 in the Westfield for 18 years now, will putting a 2000 in involve re-jigging engine mounts for bonnet clearance height etc ? i.e is it a straight swap or not ? I already have a 5 speed 2.0l box & 2.0l flywheel so that's not a problem.

Swapped a 1600 pinto for a 2 litre pinto in a robin hood a number of years ago and Vaguely remember that the only difference is that the 2litre is taller by half an inch if I remember correctly.
