I suppose you could "pretend" you're starting with a 2.1 long block and
transfer everything that's 2.1 specific to the 1.9.  For instance, the
intake manifold, throttle body, AFM, water pump, oil cooler and thermostat
housing.  I would think doing it this way would work but I've never done it.
Surely, experts and/or those with this experience will chime in.
