Tranny swapability question

Hello all!

I'd like to know if it's possible to swap an 85-86 5ktq tranny in place of
a 4kq "US" code tranny ... as in July I'll be swaping a turbo engine with
EFI and lots of goodies in my car and I know for a fact that my tranny is a
particularly short ratio type, I'd like to put a 5ktq locker tranny in my
car as it has taller gears and allows for higher top speed as well as lower
RPMs at legal highway speeds (120-130 km/h), which could improve my fuel
mileage...Who has a BTDT on this one? The familiy album shows a different
type of rear diff housing so I'd like to know if this is feasible at all or
not.;

Thanks in advance,

Mihnea
