Sport Coupe Erik

Hey gang, Legacy Central sent me your way. I guess the answer is either a simple yes, or a simple not in your life pal. A guy at my work is selling an 89 Loyale Wagon, 1.8/five speed, 170K miles for about 500 bucks. Body is ok condition, but its not what I want. Are the bell housings totally different then the later 2.2/2.5 engines? I havnt found anyone who's swapped in the larger engines, so I'm guessing its apples and oranges. Thanks. Erik
