Yes - I've replaced the 1.9 8v engine in my 1989 205 GTi 1.9 with the 16v engine from the 405 Mi16. Only minor mech mods are needed with no welding or structural work.
It goes like stink (c.165 hp goes well in a 950kg car!), has a better fuel injection system (Motronic as opposed to Jetronic) so is smoother and mreo fuel efficient.
I'm also aware of people putting the 405 SRi 1.9 8v into a 205, also the 2.0 16v from the later Mi16.
Other popular engine swaps include the 2.0 8v turbo from the Citroen XM and the 16v engines from the 306 s16 and GTI6.
These are all XU series engines, not sure about the TU engined 205s. The XU-based diesel engines are all fairly interchangable too.
The forum at www.205gtidrivers.com will give you all this info and more (including one guy with Mi16 engines in the front AND the back)
