86 tranny in a 83  :yikes:  you have to shorten the rear driveshaft about 6 inches,  lengthen the front,  move the crossmember,  cut a new hole in the floor.  basically  everything you would have to do if you were going dual cases

get a L52HD from Marlin  they will bolt right in to your 83  and its as strong or stronger than the 86 G54 tranny

The speedo cable may be a tad too short too.  Which reminds me.  I need to purchase the extension from this site.
