Hmm I I dont think so, [3rdGen.org](http://3rdGen.org) says LG4 V8 in the 87 last year production… regardless that engine was a mess and slow as hell even though that motor & the body only have 57k on it. ---

FIXED: Fugly or Fucking Ugly lol something me n my friends use to describe something that goes past being just plain ugly. Somebody on MTV said it best like 10 years ago when the band Staind 1st came out and they were talking about Aaron Lewis being so ugly he was “fugly”. ---

That rear is a little stronger than the 10 bolt. It also has the Ford type axle retainers, tire & axle won’t come out. ---
