I've transplanted a 2.1 WBX from a Syncro into my 84 Westy along with
the complete engine harness, ECU, sensors, intake, cooling and exhaust
systems.  Let me add that it is a DJ-code WBX, so it uses Digijet, but
it proves that the newer and hopefully improved cooling system can be
adapted.  If you are patient and/or slightly nutty, you can do it too
with a little help from your friends.
