I have a 2002 mark6 1300cc fiesta which needs a new engine, I am told it needs an A9JA engine, but would an A9JB fit?

I have a 2002 mark6 1300cc fiesta which needs a new engine, I am told it needs an A9JA engine, but would an A9JB fit?

My Haynes manual for this model shows both these engines are 70PS Rocam 8V engines, but there is also a low power 60PS version, the BAJA, to be avoided. The gearboxes are the modern cable-linkage versions of the IB5. The throttle linkage is also up-to-date. The engine maintenance chapter does not make any differentation between work on any of these engines. (P.S., 60PS is also the power of the OHV Endura E engine, which this chain-drive SOHC engine is based on, I.E.the old Ka engine, which got re-engineered in Brasil, where they use petrol/ethanol blend fuel, requiring some mods.)

It's definately a duratec engine in one of the first mark 6 models if anyone can help?
