Hi Mark,

The 2.1 crank has a longer stroke, but it will fit in a 1.9 case with
some minor clearancing.

Here's a way to tell them apart: If you put a 2.1 crank in an unmodified
1.9 case it will make contact...

It's not clear which crank are you asking about the value of? 1.9 or 2.1?

If someone with a 1982 diesel needs a rad it'd probably be worth the
trouble to convert them to the later rad... As the early rads are very
rare these days. But heck... you're in NASCAR-land... I bet there's a
custom rad shop in your neck of the woods that can rebuild that diesel
rad better than new if your customer has their heart set on leaving it
"stock".

Happy Trails,
