The 2.1 engine is a very nice upgrade for the 1.9 engine and it bolts right
in
longer stroke crank and sligthly bigger cam  more torque better over all
power

Subject: Engine Change

I'm toying with the idea of replacing the 1.9 waterbox with another engine.
I have seen VW/Audi and Subaru engines, many years ago I had a book showing
how to put a chevy v-8 into a beatle (lot of work).

Can anyone tell me what type of engines are easily put into a vanagon body?
Without major changes to the frame. Supplier of adpter plates, motor mounts,
etc..
