So the GM engine builders re-did the 2.3 and came up with 2.4L
I agree to stick with 2.3 to 2.3 ect...
Now if you can find a w41 block now that was a racing beast ..
I remember this site had all that was mantapart....

good luck on your build.  |
mantapart has a lot of stuff, but they're highly UNreputable in service.
The new batch of 2.3L headgaskets that are now on the market, get rid of the issue of headgasket failures.
If someone wanted to build a sweet motor they don't need a 2.3L block, even if it was a w41 block. W41 block is the same as any other 2.3L block of its year. The head isn't any different than a 2.3LHO. The goodies that a person would want from a w41 is the rare red IDI valve cover and the cams. The intake manifold is the same as a 2.3HO, blah blah blah.
