I believe the 230ci in the 65's were a newer model. The one that Toyota bought was the earlier one without the hydraulic lifters. They did some modifications. I think they added an oil filter which if memory serves me correctly, GM did not put on that engine.

I had an exciting moment with that engine. A fan blade broke off while I was driving down the highway at 65mph. It cut up through the radiator slicing it wide open, straight up through the hood and out into the stratosphere. The shaking was so violent I thought I had thrown a rod. Never again will I stand in line with a rotating fan!
