your going to need the frame mounts out of the 86,the exhaust needs to be changed some of the wiring is going to be differant but you have the donor truck,the tranny has the same bolt pattern but I'm sure that I herd somewere on here that the input shaft is differant or somthing like that, and I'm not sure about the hp and torque.
