Sorry, I just do 1st gens. Someone will be along with the answer shortly though...

Where in Michigan are you? You should check out the Midwest section of this forum, a couple of threads there you'll want to check out if you're interested in meeting other owners...

You will be fine, but you need to use the transmission crossmember that matches the transmission.

So to put the 91 in the 86 you need to use the 91's (S5) crossmember.

This 'someone' needs to spend more time on the 7 club because everything he said is wrong.
