WWO is a casting number, not the motor code. The motor code is under the flap of the head gasket $ between plugs #3&4 See your last picture to the left of the hose under the clean spot on the head under the plug-there is the flap.
It's got a factory carb and vcould be a 1.5,1.6,1.7, or a 1.8l.

Looks like a 1.8 with Monotronic (think single injector @ the throttle body) fuel injection from here. Car is probably a CL (base) model, non-AC. IIRC, these engines were about 70hp, and very difficult to make additional power from because of the Monotronic.
