  You won't be able to fit the 1000 version of the PA in place without either
cutting away at the front of your 2000 or building some TALL standoffs and
moving the power supply... :-) You get the FastROM option on a 500 or 2000
without needing the special 1000 version. Your best bet is to sell the 1000
version to someone who wants to be able to plug 512K ROMs into their 1000 and
buy a new 2000 version for your 2000.
  As far as I know, there's no 16MHz 68010s made. With 68020s so cheap, people
just don't design in fast 68010s.
