swap 2.2 in place of 2.0

:
1987 626 LX 2.0 non-turbo
I have access to a rebuilt 2.2 out of an '89 probe and was wondering how complicated it would be to swap this into my '87 626 that has a 2.0 non-turbo and a 5-speed. The engine also comes with turbo and non-turbo 5-speeds and a complete stock turbo set-up. Anybody have any experience with this swap as far as bellhousing patterns, mounts, and wiring/computer compatability? Also, I have no experience with turbos. What do I need to know to add this setup on the 2.2 if I install it? Thanks

It has been a while from but from what I remember the transmission bellhouse pattern is the same.

The EFI system changed a bit between the models though so it could require some adventurous wiring to be performed to get it up and running.

Thanks, Derrick. Yeah, I noticed just looking under the hood that they were completely different, but I read in another post that it was supposed to be a fairly simple swap. Looks like I'll just have to dive in! Thanks again.
