As DAZZA said :

"The 5 speed box is longer than the 4 speed so you would need to use the front shaft from a later model with a 5 speed because it is 50mm longer and then you would have to shorten your rear tailshaft. The later model drive shaft flanges use bigger bolts than your ute has. Yours will have 8mm bolts and the later models use 10mm bolts." it shouldnt be hard to swap the diff flanges out of a later model. buy the 85 and 3y much easyer conversion and the 3ys shit all over the 18r imo especially if ya put a set of extractors on it.
