Some are AWD. That doesn't matter for the bellhousing. If the 2.8's bell is the same as the 3.0, then the 1.9 will fit. Yes, the 1.9 will probably work alot harder to haul a load.
The 2.3 will also fit, and it won't be working as hard to haul a load, but still harder than a 2.8 would.
Example - A 3.0 ranger has a 3.0 (obviously). The Ford Taurus, FWD - has a 3.0 as well. The Taurus motor fits in the ranger.
A ford escort comes with a 1.9. The 1.9 is FWD. The ranger's 3.0 fits in the Escort, which means the Taurus's 3.0 and the Aerostar's 3.0 also fit in the escort.
The Tempo/Topaz are either FWD or AWD. They come with a 2.3, which also fits in the Escort, Taurus, Ranger, etc.
