FWIW -- In our '84 we went with a rebuild from GoWesty, they build out
a 1.9L core as a 2.2L engine.  Not cheap at $3800 --

I've got 25,000 miles on it with no problems.  Noticeably more power,
still get 21-23 highway with the beast fully loaded.

I know some make fun of GoWesty customers who (they seem to think) pay
too much for what may be a perception of quality... but I am totally
satisfied with this engine.

We only drive the Westy on long camping trips so when we're 1000s of
miles from home or in a very remote area the extra dough for an engine
you have confidence in seems a reasonable price to have paid.

This is not to knock other rebuilders or the various conversion
options -- you'll find you have many choices depending on your
priorities and budget.
