    What should I expect? Euro spec 1992 323

    I am looking for a 2nd car and I saw this, a red 1992 euro spec 323 with 144k miles on it.

    What motors did these cars come with. It would be awesome if it had a BP in it. I am waiting on the seller to email me back. Small tranny leak so i might need some advice here but for $300 its a steal.

    Block is almost done, cylinders are overboard for Weisco pistons, pro gram billet main caps have been line bored, and my chinese EDT rods have been machined to right specs. Everything has been balanced.

    There's a possibility it could have a BP, but it probably has something smaller, along the lines of a B3, B5, B6 or B8.

            the GT package came with an N/A BP, but usually has a wing or atleast GTX style interior

                        could have a B5, the 1.5 Liter BP lookalike!

                            I know this isn't a current post, but I recently bought a euro-spec 323 here in Germany. Mine is a '90 GT, so it does have the BP in it... but from my trips to the junkyards it appears mine is relatively rare, most 323's over here have the SOHC 16-valve motor... very few BP powered ones (unless you're looking at 323F's).
