New answer: The center shaft in the 4x4 transmission is a long shaft so you caninstall the transfur case on to it.The transmission in 2 wheel dr. trucks have a short shaft running through theTransmission. So what you are wanting to doWILL NOT WORK.Now you can take your trans. completely apart and remove the center shaft, andgo buy a short shaft for your trans. Then put it all back together. Remove thetransfur case housing on your trans. and install a regular tail shaft housing ontoyour trans. Plus a 2 wheel drive drive shaft. And you now have a 2- wheel dr.

It will bolt up to the engine, but the cross member will not work as the 400 is longer than the trans. in the 86. You will also need to make a down shift switch as the 86 trans. has a detent cable, the 400 has an electric switch. There is also the driveshaft issue.
