@jacob85 Hi, I’m not 100% sure. It could possibly bolt up together. You would want to do your own research for that one to be sure.Does the 2.3-16 mate with a 717.411 Manual Trans?@Fadi_O Hello, I'll help arrange the pick up from my storage using your shipper of choice, but I do not have or work with a specific shipping company. You might want to contact engineshipping.com. I know Fedex and DHL ship as well but it can get costly.Do you ship worldwide?$350 bid placed by @dominnyc
@F40dude These engines originally mated to the 717.404 (Manual) and 722.4 (Auto) As far as a standard auto transmission from a 2.3 mating, yes it'll mate. But you need to account for gear ratios, driveshaft length, torque converter.would this mate with a standard 190e auto transmission?@edand Hello, the difference between the US and Euro motors was that the US cars had 167hp, the Euro cars had about 20 more hp (185hp)(tq was 163ftlb vs 177ftlb), a different ignition curve and a different fueling system. The CIS ignition is metered differently for Euro cars to add more fuel because of higher compression and higher rev limiter. Euro cars also had an adjustment knob for fuel quality to change timing, so no, parts weren't identical. You couldn't plug and play. The electronics wouldn't really talk to each other on a plug and play basis. it's more in-depth than that. The power band on the Euro cars is between 4k-7.2k.@DrAMG Nice, thanks for the info. Now I'm curious: Any idea which parts on the inside differed? I'd guess a longer rod or a longer piston, or perhaps a different crank, or all of the above... I would assume the block isn't different?@edand Euro motors were higher compression. I’m going by memory here, but the US spec 16v’s were rated in the 150’s hp while the Euro model was around 185hp.@DrAMG Wasn't the Euro motor only more powerful due to its tune? I had assumed the hardware was identical, but the Euro tune was more aggressive (and less fuel efficient / more polluting), so the only difference would be in the fuel injection system... but I'm not certain. I'd love it if an expert here could clarify.$300 bid placed by @Vancouver

Also just a quick disclaimer - I have not run a compression check on this engine. It was already removed from the donor vehicle at the time I bought it. I am by no means representing this as a drop-in / ready to go motor. The buyer should go through it before dropping it into a vehicle. You can consider it as a core with all of the needed accessories. Being sold as-is. Thank you again & happy bidding.@DrAMG Good morning, unfortunately I do not remember off the top of my head. I vaguely remember the donor car being a grey market vehicle from 1985 (keep in mind this was 7 years ago when I bought it). I know the euro spec motors were a bit hotter, but just to be safe, we can assume this is a US spec motor. I can inspect for stamps / #s and upload photos if the Euro motors had specific designations. Thank you for your interest.Hello seller, is this motor out of a US spec or a Euro spec 16V? I know the US spec is lower performance compared to the Euro version.@sportzwerks Good morning, yes I can get a photo of that this weekend!Hi, can you send a photo of the timing chain tensioner. It is behind the alternator. Just want to see if it is large hex with a flat top or a large with an inner Allen like. Thanks
