hello all,
could anyone tell me if a 2.3 16v engine will fit into a sierra mk1 and how much modification is needed. i want to run it as a daily. i have complete 2.0 dohc with all running gear set ups (manual) here and wondered if the 2.3 would bolt up. i know the 2.0 16v will do the job.
any help advice or advice would be appreciated.

Anything will fit in anything with enough work.
By 2.3 I assume you mean the one from the Galaxy?

the heads will swap over no issues
but the compression ratios will be all over the place
with the 2.0 8v head on the 2.3 bottom end the compression ratio will be too high
and the 2.3 16v head on the 2.0 bottom end you may have issues with the bore being bigger and the seal not working properly in the head gasket fire ring

your forgetting 1 major thing, the galaxy 2.3 heads thermostat housing will be in the way! you need a 2.3 scorpio head as theres no thermostat housing at the back of the head

galaxy head has both side and rear waterways, rs cams, 8v sump and pickup, youll need 2 block of a part on the block when removing the balencer chain, rs flywheel and clutch is a bolt on fit aswell,
