go and find jim christie (i think he posts here as the crust ?) as i sold him a 2.3 bottom end for his 2.3 project
he bolted a dohc 8 valve twinky head to it and, with a bit of a drop in cr (with the normal set up it's 10.8:1 ) he's got a set of cams in there plus a bit of a chipped ecu and bigger injectors and it makes 170 brake and 170 lb/ft for not much effort
2.0 economy, 2.9V6 power and torque, the best of both worlds and not a bit of forced induction in sight
and it's got a set of sloppy pistons, but more on that from the man himself i think
