I've been told conflicting stories about installing a post '86 vanagon engine in a '85 vanagon. One person said "No problem, just use your '85 electronics and fuel injection on the '86 to '92 long block. Another person said that the 2.1 engine won't mate to the '85 tranny. Any info you could give me would be appreciated. Please e-mail it to me directly. Also, I just missed out on getting a '90 motor. so I'm looking for a 2.1 in good shape. Something with low milage. Maybe from a wreck. A plug-N-play motor if you will. DNeu@aol.com '85 westy
