All FCs are interchangeable.. BUT 86 GXL dont have 4.3 gears but only the 89-90 GTUs does.

NA's interchange with NAs, TIIs with TIIs. You can't mix and match between the 2.

I did this swap to my 90 vert, or I should say I had it done. It cost me about $2500 total but that included a clutch LSD and a few suspension fixes/upgrades at the same time. Even paying to have it done, I think it was worth it, although I'm sure someone will tell me I could have gotten a new CAR for that amount. If you can save on all the labor, you should definitely do it.
JMHO.

you have to buy a one. When you swap to TII, you need the whole TII drive line. My friend just went through this ordeal. Unless, that is, if you can get ahold of a TII drive shaft and get someone to weld you drive shaft and the TII one together, haha
