Does anyone know if the cranks are the same for a 2.3 na and 2.3 turbo?

Good man, sounds like it’ll be easy for you thenI do a lot of electrical and wiring repairs at the shop I work at, you’re definitely right. A lot can get thrown off.
Good luck with that, 2.8s were mostly used when the 2.0 four cylinder was in these, so chances of the same transmission used are much lower since the 2.3 almost always had the m5od instead of a fm145 or any other oneAll you would need is a four-cylinder bell housing for your 85 2.8 transmission. Good luck finding one and if you do, I hope you find two because I need one.
The M5OD didn’t come along until 88 and even then it was an option with the fm146 as the base unit. Even if it’s a 2 Wheel Dr. trans it doesn’t matter.

lol not at all. However a 2.5 will.Does anyone know if the trans from the 2.8 v6 will bolt up to the 2.3?
Which transmission did those have ?lol not at all. However a 2.5 will.
They were identical to the 2.3 Lima as they just bored out the block to get a little more power out of the engine they already had.Which transmission did those have ?
