It will plug right in just fine. I've been running a 2.1 in my 84 Westy since May of '97. Check out my link on how to do it:

I currently have just about 65k on the engine. #3 cylinder is getting a bit weak (just happens I guess) and a water pump was replaced last year. Other than that, it's been a good runner so far, no leaks oil or coolant.

Cheers :-)
