NJMONTE Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Its probably been posted several times , but would a conversion from one to the other be basically bolt on regarding driveshaft length cross member position ? could I use the same flex plate? I know I would need a tvs cable bracket at the carb , and how about the gear indicator position on the dash ? and shifter (column shift ) have an 86 SS and took it off the computer to control the lockup with a vacuum switch with separate switch to lockup up when it shifts in to 4th gear how would it work with a 2:73 gear my 86 is 3:73 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
71MonteCarloMD Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 From what I understand it’s a direct fit as only need 2 things: shifter cable and shift detent plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbolt Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Yes, it is a direct fit. I have the 200r4 in mine, and you just need the new detent plate (shiftworks or a forum member has them) and cable. If have a console the proper plate is available, but I cannot speak for the column shift indicators. Driveshaft is the same length too.

McCall72 Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Hmmm. I had to shorten the driveshaft on mine by about 1.5 inches. I have a 12 bolt rear end if that makes a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
