I'm  going to transplant a 2.1L into my '84 Westy.  The 2.1L I'm buying has  a
Stebro muffler.  How does the muffler mount?   I see two  brackets poking out
the backside of the muffler.  Will it work on my  '84 ?  Do I install the
entire 2.1L  exhaust?






Since the  entire exhaust system on all waterboxer engines are connected to
the engine  and not the van there is no problem here.  Just install the 2.1 L
engine in your '84 with the entire 2.1 exhaust system and STEBRO  muffler
attached as it is -  that's it that's all.  You did get  the 2.1 engine mount (the
aluminium piece) with that engine didn't you ?   If not then you need the 2.1
engine mount as the one from the 1.9 does not have  the muffler mounting
points.
