Yes it will work with reduced power as the only draw back.

Subject: 1.9 as a 2.1 Replacement

Hi:

I know that this is backwards to the usual route but can someone
confirm that a 1.9 can replace a 2.1 using the 2.1 electronics/FI and
cooling.

The reason that I ask is that I am considering the purchase of a 2.1
powered syncro with a "tired" engine. I have a 1.9 that was rebuilt
last year but never installed in my 85.

Thanks
Ian
