83 to 86.5 engine swap

I don't think you will find much information on that, because most people don't want to put in a 2.8l ~170hp engine in a car that came with a 3.0l ~200hp engine stock. So I would think that you could make it bolt up with a little custom motor mounts if they don't line up, but why?

How blown up is the 86.5s' engine?
