They both need to be from V8 engines. The torque converter spline count is likely different. So would need to use the '91 converter. IIRC, the spline count changed from the '84 to the '85 MY.

Will need to swap the VSS out for the cable drive unit. And possibly swap the drive VSS gear.

Undo the bolt , remove the VSS , install the cable drive unit and it's driven gear

Remove the tailshaft housing ( 4 bolts ), remove existing drive gear ( green gear in pic ) and replace with the gear required.
Make sure the gear retainer clip shown is installed correctly into the output shaft otherwise the gear will spin and you will have no speedo
