be aware it's not quite the same 2.3 as the others you've seen. i know the euro 110 and 117 motors are higher compression, no info to suggest the 2.3 is different. if it's got the serp belt, then it's a step up from the only 230e i saw, it had 3 belts and all the other stuff 1st gen 102s that got here. i would hope you have a good resource for gray market parts. i'd hate to have to fix the ac on that car. good luck, chuck.
