98 b3000 5 speed tranny into 89 b2

found a M50D with a transfer case attached to it in the local junkyard. it came out of a 98 b3000. Which I believe should fit. I did see a note in reading that the 3.0 version of the M500d has a different starter than the 4.0? can anyone confirm this for me?

I have a 1993 ranger 4.0 in my b2 with the fm156 right now.
