Ive been reading around on the site for awhile and from some of the stuff ive read the fwd 86-89 motors are the same as the 109 blocks but have the bellhousing pattern for the fwd trans.... anyway someone could just make an adapter plate? Maybe I dont know enough info and they are not the same but if so you could pick up a block for dirt cheap at almost any junkyard and buy the adapter and be ahead of the game!!!
