They are the same motor- only the XR6 turbo was different....the n/a six is the same output whether in an XT, fairmont, XR6 , SR etc.

the only difference between BA XR/Ghia and XT/Futura/Fairmont are the spark plugs for some reason! And if your going Auto the XR/Ghia has different shift points they are a little firmer and also because they came with 3.45 diff ratio.
