Actually, Scott, there are two differences. One is the additional oil pressure switch that you mentioned, and the other is where the plenum bracket bolts to the case near the flywheel. To use a 2.1 plenum on a 1.9 case you either need a spacer or you need to reshape the bracket. To bolt a 1.9 plenum to a 2.1, you need to reshape the bracket. Mike With a 2.1 engine in an '85 Westy (using a 2.1 plenum, though). |
