Will a 2.8 motor line up with 2.5 trans?

No, a 2.8L engine and a 2.5L transmission are almost certainly not going to line up directly. The bellhousing bolt patterns, input shaft diameter/spline count, and potentially even the overall dimensions (length and position of the engine/transmission mounts) will be different. You'd need an adapter plate, custom driveshaft, and likely other modifications to make them work, and even then, it might not be feasible or reliable. The mismatch in engine and transmission size suggests a significant difference in torque and power output, which could cause premature wear or failure.
