I believe that you can, because they are the same trans, but you will need to mix and match drive shafts to make it fit(I think).. I remember somethin about a part being 4 inches off. Not sure if it is drive shaft or what. If i remember correctly.

Input shafts need to be swapped. Not driveshaft. You need to get an input shaft from an 85.5 -93 v8 t5 and a bearing retainer and swap it onto the sn95 t5.

or you could use the 94-95 bell and driveshaft and it will all bolt right in

Or that. Shifter position would be about 3/4" further back
