well i think by the amount of replys shows that this is not a easy question to answer ,
the 230 engine from a vito would be a 111 engine and the one from your g would be a 102 engine . the 111 engine was a devlopment of the 102 engine with most of the changes done to the cylinder head (twin cams, advancing inlet cam shaft, and a hot film mass injection system) but the block allso had some mods but was basiclly a 102 block so in practice MIGHT fit the amount of work in modifying the injection system and wiring alone makes me frown but could be done (ive done worse lol) a better thought might be the later 102 engine (it had better bhp) say from a E-class saloon or estate still some wiring to do for the later injection system but everything is in the right place and its the same basic engine .
