You can usually get them for next to nothing. The only guys that even think they might want one are the guys that are going boosted, and only half of those guys understand that boost needs longer gears to be effective.

It didn't use the same engine, but the same family of engine. It will bolt up, but you have to get a clutch for the MY of the transmission.

If you have an '88 trans, you need an '88 clutch. '89-'91 are the same.
