Re: 5.7 TBI in an 86????? Anyone done this swap??
good deal. if possible slide the carrier bearing towards the trans some and get the yoke into the trans a bit further. other than that looks good. just gotta do the wiring now

Also, this truck has a one piece driveshaft with no carrier. I think that there is only about an inch of travel from butted up tight to where it actually will ride. On the wiring, I am going to wait till I have all the things I know or kinda remember how to do first. Then move on to wiring. Mike |

the d shaft will go into the trans a bit further once u set it down on the crossmember with a mount isntead of sitting up on the pan. ideally you would want the shiny part of that yolk all the way in the trans. it will be close enough once you set the trans down

I made a threaded bung out of SS and welded it to the truck manifold.
