most of the time people have problems are when they bd and do a v8 swap. you shouldnt have a problem if you keep the stock engine.

If its a 2nd gen the stock linkage will work fine if you are bodydropped to the rocker, the steering shaft just goes farther down on the shaft that goes into the gear box. I would move up the hole on the firewall so the shaft does not bind on the boot, other than that you should be good to go.
