yes, smaller exhaust valves and slightly less cam, small fuel pump , slight loss in compression too (guy on zuwharie forum measured 33cc head chamber for 1.3l and 32cc for the 1.6l)
i am guessing it may hurt your top end.
i got a 1.6l rebuilt head without a cam for sale(less than 100kms before the owner rebalaced the whole engine, block was shot)
you can use the cam from 1.3l in a 1.6l head (or take the opputurnity to put an aftermarket cam)

I sold my old 1.6 block in the old Vit when the head crapped itself. Got $350 for it from memory. The dude had a Sierra head to go on it and apparently they bolt on OK.
Joeblow should be able to give you all the tech on it...
