It would fit but according to Dave Andrews it is such a mild grind that it is only useful as a blunt weapon.
DVAndrews Look down the page to the Selection of camshafts section.

It will physically fit BUT it is a 1600 cam you need a 2 litre cam they are different.

as above you need a 2.0 one


how cheap do you want to go - I've got a few used std. 2.0 ones around the place...

You want a minimum of an FR32 with a 1mm head gasket this will give you close to 130bhp.
The Pinto in a light kit can take a lot more cam
