I have a usa 75 230 motor in central Ohio. Never saw it run but it turns over smoothly with a wrench on the crank, but not too easily (as in not worn out and spins too easily) I could somehow attempt to compression test it if you can't find anything closer.
For what it's worth, 230s were easier to find when I was looking for a 220 for my 72. I bought this motor after weeks of looking, then the next day a 2.2 appeared and I bought that and put it in my car.
