The Chevrolet 2300 was a 2.3 litre inline four with a single overhead camshaft that Chevrolet built for the 1971 to 1977 model years of the Vega and the Monza. Pontiac's Astre and Sunbird and Oldsmobile's Starfire used it too. Its die-cast block was made of an aluminum alloy with 17 percent silicon, whose pure silicon particles, exposed by etching, formed the piston surface and removed the need for iron cylinder liners; the head was cast iron. Blocks and heads were cast at the Massena plant in New York. The long-stroke engine ran on large rubber mounts to damp its vibration, and it was prone to overheating, so Chevrolet added a coolant recovery tank, a low coolant warning light and a longer engine warranty. For 1976 the head was redesigned with hydraulic lifters and the engine was renamed Dura-Built 140, and the Cosworth Vega of 1975 and 1976 used a de-stroked 2.0 litre DOHC version of the block.
