In order to use the V6 adapter, you need a top shift 4 cylinder t case. If your 85 case is forward shift (non EFI truck) , it can be converted to a top shift. Marlin sells a kit to do it. A forward shift has two forks sticking out of the front of it. A top shift doesnt. I cant help you on whether your driveshafts will work though.. Since you're going to have to disassemble the 4 cylinder case to install the 23 spline 4.7 gears, making it a top shift will be easy.
