I believe those engines are strong. I saw a guy one night come out to the local cruising spot with one of those late 80's woodgrain paneld minivan that had that lebaron motor in it running some pretty high boost. He roasted some early 90's toyota supra's ***.

That 2.2 motor can handle a ton of boost stock. And with the 16 valve head designed by Lotus, it solved the breathing issues associated with the Chrysler 8 valve heads that severely limited what you could do with them.
14.5 sec stock. That is not slow.

The timing belts on those cars were an issue. Valve train too stiff and eats up timing belts rather fast.
