Not exactly Ron. I've had my TIICO powered Syncro Westy for 5 years and have finally given up on the motor after the last trip-abandonement related to the motor. I've had 5 of those trips during those 5 years directly related to the motor. I've driven a few 2.2's and one SVX-powered van and there is no comparison between the smoothness, quietness, power of those to the relatively anemic TIICO. Although it may be true that the newer TIICO's, with the increased power and different alternator/PS/AC/WP bracketry is better and smoother (read less buzz), it is not something I can recommend, based solely on my experience with mine. I'm having a 2.2 put in my van right now.
