Yes. Had one on my '87 back when it still had the 4.2. Good carb. Much better than the stock Carter junk anyhow. A lot of people like the Motorcraft 2100 (http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=131514) better for rock crawling tho.

You just need the adaptor plates (there are two)/gaskets/hardware and maybe the throttle linkage. You can see them in this photo:

I'd start by calling these guys:

...or these guys:

...and see if they'd sell you just the stuff you need.


HTH,
