TII's fit, but you need to use TII everything else. The OP doesn't appear to want to do that.

True. But, keep in mind the 86-88 tranny mount is different than the 89-91 tranny mount so make sure you get the right mount. Both bolt to the chasis the same but bolt to the tranny differently. The 5th gear also varies slightly in the '86 and also in the 89-91 that came with LSD.
