No, the 16v head uses different oil galleries, however the 12v one will fit but may be more trouble than its worth to modify the coolant lines.
If you want to go 16v, you'll need to get a whole kia sportage engine.
check the DOHC section on this site..there is info galore on this

The exhaust yes, inlet no, you'll need the manifolds on the 12v.

This is a bit of a myth.. the carburetor is not the biggest limitation with these engines.
I did alot of work on the FE SOHC, the biggest gains are to be had with a cam, if you want to stay with carbs. biggest problem with changing carbs is tuning.
