Default D44 upgrade
So I want to put a D44 in my 86 Auto... can I just swap the center section with the batwing and the driveshaft with C beam? Will all the other parts IE: half shafts, spring, emg brake stuff etc bolt up?
Thanks

Yes X 2 and make sure you get an alignment before driving it too much.

You will need to swap out the drive shaft yoke from a manual yoke to auto yoke.
