treat it like a 1.9 and put it in as if it was a 1.9.
 I have a small stash of 1.9 hardware if need be
use the fresh air box from th 85 and you are there
It is a nice upgrade and I have the European ECUs for the digijet that puts
a little extra zip in the 2.1
I time it to TDC and drive all day long at 70 MPH
This is my most common sale for the 2.1 at this point go figure
