Thanks John

I build 2.1 engines that bolt right into the 1.9 configuration no fuss no
muss
I do not charge extra for the minor changes needed
the intake center section may be differant and I can supply that if needed
The block can be bolted up to the early trany but the 2.1 crank does not
spin when bolted into
 the 1.9 block due to the interferance of the rods hitting the case
the 2.1 engine outright for the month of August is $2650 with a $400 core
fee
I do not accept the 1.9 engines in trade for a 2.1 engine
Attention to detail and tech support is what I do best
my engines come with new heads, rebuilt flywheel and a reconditioned pulley
installed
I am one of the few rebuilders to use new febi lifters in every engine
also provided is all needed gaskets to complete the installation
Let me know how I can help you
