If its 86 it should be the 2.8 v6 the 4.0 was started in 87 and the tranny should either be an ax5 orthe puegot ba10 and if its the v6 not the 4.0 the ax15 wont bolt up youll need an adapter plate but if its the 4.0 any year ax 15 will bolt up

well by the looks of it someone put some work into this thing and dropped a 4.0l in her and a 5 speed tranny, is there something stamped on the tranny telling me what it is?

if you see a row of bolts holding the two halves of the case together (split top to bottom in the middle) its a BA-10/5

^^^ note the cast iron mid plate on the ax5 vs the aluminum one on the ax15.
However i don't see him having an ax-15 swapped in, nor a 4.0L...that's a metric crapton of work on an 86.
Post pictures OP - engine bay and tranny - I'm intrigued.
