Wether it is an SAS, or Factory rig, the axle will fit under your '86. However as you have noticed it is a quite involved project to do the swap. Since it sounds like you either don't have the ability/time/or necessary desire to do the swap yourself, expect to pay a shop upwards of 3k to do the work for you. However, to answer your other ? About swapping the bodies, it is a less technical job, but a bit time consuming, but is something you could do yourself relatively easy. This is the route I would go, as long as the frame of the one in the wrecking yard is straight. This would save you a ton of $$$. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
ThatÆs the kind of talk I like to hear. IÆm going in the morning for a better look. And yes Darin, the top end of the engine is still at large and my Motor Honey has not said a word. That could spell trouble. So just to cool the jets, we are 4wheeling Saturday with a few buddies at work. I am going to let her drive the entire way. Lets just say I hope she might get stuck and would then understand the value of good front-end rebuild. ôSAS of courseö LOL. Not to mention I will get to down a 4 pack and just be the spectator screaming like a school girls at the monster hole she is heading for! Man I hope she sticks it good in the mud so I can then explain the importance of this SAS front end. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />
PS ... We have the mad possum problem here. Those darn things just freeze in the road on you as you come up on them. Not to good on a Rubin sandwich either..
