Good evening! I just recently got a 1988 Bronco 2 in a trade and I have been loving every minute of it! (First 4x4) Long story short I'm pretty seriously considering doing a 2.3 turbo (Lima engines right?) down the road. What I can't quite seem to clear up is what to do about the trans.
My truck has the Mitsu trans (FM146?) which I understand is not a great trans, but it does have a removable bell housing.
Is there a bell housing that will allow me to bolt a 2.3 to my current trans and if so what is it/where do I look?
Yes I realize that using this transmission is not ideal, just exploring my options as of now and trying to learn more about the 4x4 world.
Thanks!
Alex
