It's been done, but you have to send the bellhousing on the transmission out to be ground out. The bellhousing is for a 180mm flywheel, and a 1600 has a 200mm flywheel. In the bad old days before we knew any better, the accepted shade tree mechanic's way to do this was to pull the engine and the transmission out of the car, set them on the ground, bolt them together loosely--just enough so the starter would engage--start the engine, then pull the engine and transmission together with the bolts. This is extremely dangerous and you should never ever even think about doing this. No. I'm not nudge-nudge-wink-wink; this is dumber than dirt and you could get killed this way. I have no idea what people were thinking, and I'm almost certain beer was involved. Anyway, take the flywheel, engine and bellhousing to a machinist and tell the guy to make it fit.
