The 1.9 will work in place of a 2.1 L with minor mode.  HP is hardly
noticable.  I've driven one and you would not no any difference.

>   My name is Mark Maglior and I have a unquie situation.  We have an 86 westy and need a motor.  Somehow it through a rod and is not rebuildable.  We bid on and won a motor on ebay that was supposed to be the 2.1 waterboxer.  Not knowing any better I went over to St. Paul MN and checked it over the best I could.  Turns out it is a 1.9 waterboxer and will not fit in our van. The seller basically ripped us off and would not negotiate with Square Trade.   It seems to have good compression and is whole.  I still need a motor for the 86 westy and have one to sell the 1.9 that I think fits an 85 vanagon.  Any trades information or other suggestions will be appreciated.  We want desperately to get back on the road with our ultimate camping van.
