also you would have to weld in an upper motor mount to make it like stock. i plan on putting a 90 engine in a 86 frame.

more aftermarket parts, a regular reed valve, a six speed transmission, plus its newer than an 85 or 86.

Dont forget the powervalve! Plus, the 85-86 LT's weighed like 30lbs less then the 87+.. the 85-86 weighed 293lbs [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

Made that same swap. 1986 frame 90 motor....cut off the down tube from frame...weld in upper motor mount to frame. then add gussets or some type strength to frame up front....very easy swap.
