I had the lightweight engine cover on my '85, and I replaced it with the big
metal one.  The big metal one is quieter and somewhat more fireproof.  My big
metal cover also had a ton of sound-proofing material on it.  Some would say
that was necessary for the Tiico engine for noise control.

They are a direct swap, and you can find them in any junked vanagon, fairly
cheap.
