Id recon the Galaxy 2.3 is no good for a 7, it has some sort of balancer shaft running under the crankshaft, making it very tall, and shortening the
sump would be a no no.
Its also a derivative of the 2.0 Twincam, which is not very well respected.
Some info here regarding using the 2.3 in and RS Linky
