I think you will need a 2.0L mightymax truck transmission for that engine. The engine in the talon is a 4g63T. Theres a lot to the swap. Wiring has to be done, custom motor mounts or you can smash in the firewall. There are a few members here with the swap completed already that should chime in.

Think they say the 90 sucks wiring wise or something like that. But yeah man, go check out Jeremy's site. It's more than helpful for the 4g63T swap. www.hothodcoffeeshop.com

If you have an 88 2.0 with a 5 speed you have the correct tranny. The car has a 4g63t, you will have to bash the firewall in or make new motor mounts to move engine forward, flip throttle body to other side of intake mani, new waterlines/oil lines, etcc... A bit of work but it is so rewarding/fun when finished
