    What kind of motor/trans combos do you have?
    To get the trans from the '87 into the '86 you'd have to change the output shaft to hook up the transfer case so its better if you keep the one that's in there now.
    You'll need the wiring harness, ECM, and everything from the throttle body to the fuel tank when you swap the engine over.
