Re: Anyone transplant a 2.3 from a 9000 into a 9-3 2.3?

Since most posters here are from US and we don't have the 9-3 as a 2.3L non turbo option, it might be less info available.
I can't recall seeing anything like that but it is a few posts here and there about someone using the B234L 9000 block in a 9-5 engine (both turbo though).
Also, the 94 and up 9000 B234I engine block part number doesn't straight cross over to the NG900 B234I engine so I can't say for sure if it would work. I assume that the NG900 B234I would be a safer bet to use for the 9-3.
When part numbers are different, you never know where and what could be the difference and sometimes it could be something minor like a hole not drilled or threaded and sometimes it is something very crucial that makes the whole deal impossible to finish.
