isn't there a 2.3 duratec? could be that if it's a new car.

Here is a pic of a 2.3 engine if it helps. (assuming its the same as in your mates car).

I think it depends on what age ?




is a 16v version of the old siera dohc.

im not sure if the 53/54 plate is the same engine, but the earlier 2.3 engine is a bigger 2.0 engine, which is the same block as the 2.0 8v DOHC from the sierra...

in a nut shell, i think it would bolt up, but its a tall engine ( having balance shafts in the sump )

Am I right in thinking the 5 cylinder engine is from a Volvo??

ye the 5 pot is the volvo engine
