(Prelude: I've searched the forum, and got lots of great information, but not the answer to this particular question regarding fit between early and late model 102 engines.)

With that being said... I have a '92 201/2.3 with automatic transmission.

I found an '84 or '85 201/2.3 sitting in a parking lot with multiple dents and two flat tires... and it has a 5 speed manual transmission.

Will the tranny from this early model 201 be a direct bolt up to my late model 102 engine? I'd love to have a manual tranny in this car.

The only way I would even consider this as a project would be if I have an entire donor car (so that I have all the little parts required). So this car sitting abandoned really caught my attention.

Thanks in advance for your feedback.
