Turbo conversion into an RX-2

Turbo conversion into an RX-2
First post. Hope I don't sound like an idiot. Anyways, I am currently at the start of what is beginning to look like a very big project, and am in need of help.
I recently purchased a 1988 TurboII block to put into my RX-2. Problem is (first of many I'm sure) the motor mounts are in a different location on my RX 2.
Does anybody know what year front cover I can use on this engine, so that I can use the stock motor mounts and still be able to run a turbo metering pump?
Anyone got one for sale?
I am also in need of a bunch of parts, (Manifolds, Sensors...etc...) so if you got any extras you are interested in selling let me know.

you need a front cover for an 84-85 gsl-se, or 83-85 12a turbo. the metering pump is the same and it uses the same front mount plate that the rx2 does. you also need to swap oil pans, either an rx4,5 or a gsl-se pan flipped around backwards to clear the crossmember.
