Instead of going to B230F, why not go B230FT or B280? Unless having around 100hp to haul around a 3200lb(empty) car doesn't bother you, you'll appreciate the extra power. Everyone slams the B280 because it's a "volvo V6". That doesn't matter; the B28 was a POS, the B280 simply isn't the same engine. Yes it's a V6, but it's not the same engine as the B28, and the premature failure has been eliminated. I've seen several B280's running good with over 230K.
