In August, in response to an inquiry by me, they sent me the following.
Sounds like a new engine to me.

The retail price for your 1986 Vanagon is USD $4795.00 plus freight
from Cameron Park, CA. Freight can be quoted by supplying your postal code.
This price is an exchange price requiring your old engine be returned to
TiiCo at our expense. Our conversion kit is complete and comes with a new
2.0 liter, 8 valve zero mileage engine, "plug & play" wiring harness, ECU,
manifolds, flywheel, motor mounts, water hoses, expansion tank, ignition
system, oxygen sensor, hardware, etc. You will retain your alternator, AC
compressor (if applicable), P/S pump (if applicable), muffler and catalytic
converter, fuel injectors and fuel pressure regulator from your old engine.
We also offer an owner’s web page with tech tips, downloadable Bosch
Motronic injection manual, component list by VW part number and owner tips
and input. A 12 month / 12K mile parts only warranty is included and can be
reviewed on the website. There is also a list of shops that have experience
in installing the conversion at http://tiico.com/shoplisting.htm. Shop
labor is about 20 hours. If the conversion is properly installed it will be
very smooth and combined with the automatic it works extremely well.
