For those outside North America, I believe that the B200E is interference, and the B230E probably is an interference engine. I got this information from the UK Volvo forum. The B230E kicks butt in terms of performance when compared with the B230F, and the B200E is quite respectable too (even with an auto trans -- which is what I had) -- so while you can't just wait until the timing belt breaks before dealing with it, they are quite a nice red block set-up.
