Engine is enough for the car, runs good, the low rpm with cruising is what makes it nice, 60kph(38mph about) at 1500rpm in top gear and 120kph (75mph) at 3000rpm .
Over here we only had them as opels with 2.8cih for like 2yrs, then we had the e2 commodore with 3.0cih, the rekord we had with opel 2.0cih for many years, e1 and e2, later we had them with ohc engines. Labeled as chevrolet rekord with 2.3 engine, basically the 153 chevy 4 cyl with shorter stroke, as it was made here, only went to opel engines from late 1981 and opel badging from 1984. I am a opel fanatic, also have a senator a2 and a commodore c sedan. Also had a opel monza a1 but sold that so i could finish off my 63 c10.
My buddy has way more opels , his oldest opel is 1958 kapitan,
Cheers.
