Just did this.
 It's an easy swap because it's a 1.9 case.  This means that ALL the Digijet
stuff fits.  You don't need to find a 2.1 plenum.  Everything behave *exactly*
as before.  They put in different pistons and regrind the crank. Everything
else is the same.
The only interesting thing was that the coolant pipe that passes
behind the pulley is closer to the pulley than it was before.  Looks like the
pulley is just a little farther in.  Might just be my rebuild, though.  Since
I just installed it, I can't make any recommendations on longevity, but I can
say that AVP was a dream to work with!   Serious dream factor here.  Great
communication. Quality stuff. And the engine was wayyyy clean.  Had dinner on
it when it got here, but I had to put a tablecloth on it so I wouldn't get it
dirty. <grin>
