2.3l and c5 March 13, 2018, 09:50:17 PM Hey all. I have an 84 tbird and am considered swapping out the 3.8. Does the 2.3l bolt up to the tranny behind my 3.8 (c5? 3 speed auto)? I may pick up a non running 86 turbocoupe as a donor and want to do project in stages, but want to do motor first.ThanksRuss Quote Selected
2.3l and c5 Reply #1 – March 14, 2018, 12:39:13 AM 302 fits, parts are cheaper and more common.If ya wanted to do an efi swap and make a cruiser, you can get really good mileage as well. I get about 28mpg cruising highway. Quote Selected
2.3l and c5 Reply #2 – March 14, 2018, 09:14:44 AM If the 86TC is an auto, just use that.The 3.8 and 2.3 do not share bellhousing patterns.Swapping an 86 TC to manual, from auto is pretty easy, if the TC is a manual. Quote Selected
