2.3L ('02-'11) Will a TK5, E47A-LB from 83-87 fit a 08 2.3 L?

I have a 2008 ford ranger 2.3 L. I found this transmission online thats 4x4. Just seeing if this bell housing from the TK5, E47A-LB 83-87 will fit a 08 ranger 2.3L engine?

I dont think so.

Im pretty sure the lima (old 2.3) and duratec (new 2.3) use different bellhousings

.....and thats assuming that trans didnt come off a 2.8/2.9 which for sure is different

Nope will not work. You might as well be swapping Toyota parts in if you try to use that.
