Not sure if this helps, but I know the mounts are completely different...

 

they may be diff, hopefully they will work, does anyone know if an 86 HF motor will bolt right in and if it will fit my tranny

Unless I am greatly mistaken, the mounts on 86 and 87 models (except 4wd wagons) are exactly the same regardless if they are carbed, fuel injected, M/T, or A/T. It is only the 88+ cars that have completely different mounts.

The 86 HF engine should bolt up to your 87 auto tranny just fine. If you were using a manual tranny then you would need to use the starter that matches your flywheel, i.e. HF starter with HF flywheel or DX/Si starter with DX/Si flywheel, but your auto flex plate should bolt to your HF crank no problem. It might be best to go thru the wiring and vacuum hose diagrams in the 87 service manual over on the rpr site to see what is different. That will tell you far more than we ever could.

 

Should work but I don't want to THINK about how slow it'll be.

My 87 DX Auto is slow already!

 

My bad, for some reason I thought he meant an 88 auto tranny

 

well thats the thing, even rpr himself, or whatever. lol isnt 100 % sure it will work
