I have a set of brand new, NLA, AMC heads that are for the 1.9 available. I didn't know there was a difference at the time. I was planning a rebuild of a 2.1 but opted to Subify instead. They are in the box and just collecting dust.

pmail me if you would like to purchase them.

We have a good supply of OE parts available for engine rebuilding (what is left available). There are some parts that are getting difficult/impossible to get for the 1.9l in OE. I can get chinese pistons and cylinders readily and sometimes this is all that you can get (looks like I might be able to get a set of Cofaps at the moment though). The new cylinder heads are NLA, however you can use the 2.1l heads no problem and we have them in AMC as well. If you want I can give you a list of the parts that I usually replace when I have rebuilt these engines in the past along with the prices. Just let me know.
