Yup.
Also cost. What would the price difference be between a cam and pistons vs.
a new engine? I'm thinking that you would probably get either engine rebuilt
and possibly machined, why not stay with the one you have and not have to
buy a new engine? I have also thought about the reliability difference I've
heard between the 1600 and the 2000 and liked what I've heard about the
1600.
I would have to do something about the carbs, something I'm still thinking
about, which is why I found the link to the Weber's site in a later message.
I love dreaming of how I will spend money I haven't even earned yet. ;)

1. because you can
2. because it makes a neat, fast 1600, without a lot of the U20 problems
3. See #1

Webers will work, 240 Z carbs will work. 2000 carbs with 1600 linkage
seems the easiest

The 5 speed will work just fine with a stroked 1600. I prefer the 4 speed,
quicker around town.
