YES - that's the thread that originally gave me the inspiration to do this. I ran into a few inconsistencies when researching the swap, but I've cleared those up in the other thread I had about swapping diffs. Turns out it is plug and play on the pre-LCI cars (I was worried that the full rear axles would have to be swapped, but that's not the case).
