Oh John, this will be fraught with difficulty.

The 2.1 and 1.9 are as different as can be. Different gearbox, clutch, hubs, driveshafts and brakes

Also, the throttle is fly-by-wire in the 2.1 and cable in the 1.9.

Electrics are very different. The 2.1 ECU controls far more than the 1.9 ECU does, including running the speedo..

The LH engine mount is totally different and might need a fabrication to take a 1.9 mount.

Why do you ask? what's up with the 2.1, which in my humble opinion is a lovely engine spoilt perhaps by the Lucaus EPIC pump being totally intolerant of veg

Whatever, it'll be a project of mega proportions, you'd need a complete 1.9 as a donor
