ANY BODY KNOW IF THE 2.3 AND 2.5 SHARE THE SAME BELL HOUSING BOLT PATTERN? THANKS , HANGMAN

 

what 2.3? Single overhead cam? if so yes. Duratech 16 valve? don't think so.

 

THE 2.3 IS OUT OF A 80 FAIRMONT.....THE 2.5 RANGER IS A 99.....I'M MAKING A DIRT TRACK TRUCK (EMPIRE SPORT TRUCK . COM) CENTRAL NY SERIES , IF ANYBODY IS INTERESTED. I WOULD LIKE TO USE THE 5SPD THAT IS IN THE TRUCK, AND THE 2.3 FROM THE FAIRMONT.

 

Should work. Most parts should swap between the two. The 99 2.5 distribitor hole is cast shut and External fuel pump gone.

 

THANK YOU. I'M RUNNING THE 2.3 WITH THE FACTORY CARB, FUEL PUMP, FUEL CELL, & DURASPARK DIST WITH EARLY CHRYSLER ELECTRONIC CONTROL BOX.
