Thanks John I build 2.1 engines that bolt right into the 1.9 configuration no fuss no muss I do not charge extra for the minor changes needed the intake center section may be differant and I can supply that if needed The block can be bolted up to the early trany but the 2.1 crank does not spin when bolted into the 1.9 block due to the interferance of the rods hitting the case the 2.1 engine outright for the month of August is $2650 with a $400 core fee I do not accept the 1.9 engines in trade for a 2.1 engine Attention to detail and tech support is what I do best my engines come with new heads, rebuilt flywheel and a reconditioned pulley installed I am one of the few rebuilders to use new febi lifters in every engine also provided is all needed gaskets to complete the installation Let me know how I can help you Bob Donalds Boston Engine .com 1 508 358 6264 still going faster miles an hour with the radio on I will be in Terryville sunday for the car show ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Lauterbach" <lauterba@BELLSOUTH.NET> To: <vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM> Sent: Saturday, August 20, 2005 8:21 PM Subject: Re: converting a 2.1 to 1.9 > Evan, you should discuss with Bob Donalds at Boston Engine. > > John > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Evan Mac Donald" <macdonald1987@SBCGLOBAL.NET> > To: <vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM> > Sent: Saturday, August 20, 2005 5:52 PM > Subject: converting a 2.1 to 1.9 > > >> Hello list! >> >> I am looking for any one who has rebuilt a 2.1 long block, using 1.9 >> externals - water pump, thermostat housing, etc. The Bentley says the >> cases are the same, and the heads are the same also, so with the "correct >> for chassis year" accessories bolted on, what other problems might there >> be.... >> >> >> TIA >> >> >> >> Evan Mac Donald >> >> 1984 Wolfburg >> 1985 GL 7 Pass. >> 1991 Carat Weekender >> >
