Karl, I made this swap on my '85 a few years ago. I used the procedures at www.oldvolkshome.com. They talk about having to get a larger throttle body but my '85 already had a large one installed. I used the '85 cooling system and the '85 FI system. Worked great until the crank broke in the 2.1. It was an easy swap and I'll do it again when I get the $ for a Boston Bob rebuild and core charge. Ken at Vanagain and Boston Bob have ECU chips for the 1.9 ECU that should provide even more power. Tom '71 Westy, '85 Westy, '87 Westy Auto, '91 Carat, '81 VW Diesel Pickup
