        That's what I think  also.  But if I recall correctly the tops of the
pistons are different  configurations.  Never had any issues here with using
the AMC heads on both  1.9s and 2.1s.

>>>>>>I think the only changes between the 1.9 head  and the 2.1 were
structural. According to the Pro Training Manual, the 2.1  simply has a
7mm longer stroke (94mm piston, so 4.7 * 4.7 * pi * .7cm * 4  cyl  =
.195  liters).<<<<<<<<<<<
