I don't know how you can say how that the bellhousing looks the same.

The 2.9 starter is on the drivers side, the 2.3 on the passenger side.
The 2.9 starter has two bolts, the 2.3 has three bolts

And all but two of the 2.3 bellhousing bolts come through the engine block "head forward"
ALL of the 2.9 bellhousing bolts go in from the back.
