Actually, it's 230HP on the TypeII. 93+ Coupes (All) and 94-95 "GS" versions of the Sedan have that engine, all others get the 200HP version.

If that's a true engine swap, it can't be front wheel drive!
Interesting.

Dude, go take a look at the engine layout of Vigors, Legends, Chrysler sedans(Intrepid, etc) and tell me they aren't FWD because the engine isn't transversly mounted.

There are plenty of cars out there with this setup

Because they started making the TL! No sense in having 2 mid-sized sedans. And the Legend coupe would later become the CL.
