Yes you can BUT it will come at a considerable cost due to needing new holes and other things needed!!!
Not really worth the hassle, trust me, I am in the middle of doing this at the moment. I have just talked to and seen slipper's car and it sounds amazing with the standard 1.6's in it.

i'm talking a stock au II xr8, just unbolting the rollers & fitting the 1.7's to it to get a bit more lift.is there going to be any vavle to piston clearence problems? if not i should be able to just pull the 1.6's of and drop the 1.7's on, is that correct?
Yellaterra makes a set of 1.7 ratio rockers for the AU, they made them for the T series fir tickford, they are a shaft mounted style, only thing to check is the piston-valve clearance. they are bolt down and do not need studs and guides
As redhotxr8 said, just get some Yella Terra ST-2027's and bolt them straight in. It will take about an hour or so. Piston to valve clearance shouldn't be a problem with the stock cam and stock valves.

That's what I thought!

You must be converting to stud mount rockers. but even then, they should still bolt in reasonably easy. You just have to add guide plates.
