I believe it should bolt in,Only thing different i know between the two is the speedo cable and speed input thing.

I've done it. You will repin your original connector.
I'm using mine in my 85 with an 06 vortec 4.8 and 4L60E. Works great. I tapped the bypass above my oil filter for the 91 oil pressure sensor (you will use one of the 3 wires) and cut down (turned it down in a lathe and put the 10mm threads on it) a factory 80's coolant sender to fit the rear hole in the passenger side head.

Where did you find wiring diagram for repining cluster plug? I have found several and no two show the same thing? Did you hook the vss wire directly to the cluster wiring? Thanks,

Here:
Page 10 of the PDF http://www.73-87chevytrucks.com/tech...10_30_Only.pdf and here: Page A-103 (116 of the PDF) http://www.73-87chevytrucks.com/tech...ing_Manual.pdf The ECM wire for speedo out goes right to the cluster. Check engine too.
