you wont need to modify the tunell, i have a sierra 5 speed and 1.3 in it, just move the eng mounts the same as you would for a 1.3 conversion and plug and play.

What gearbox are you going to use? 1.3 or 1.6?
EDIT: If its an 83 you will most likely have the narrow tunnel which will require widening for either the 1.3 or 1.6 box. I think that you can just squeeze the 1.3 box in if you have a body lift

They are completely different. Wiring, heater box, vents etc is also very different.
Not sure 35mm will be enough But if you can afford to have the vehicle off the road for a few weeks then that should give you time to sort those issues out.
Don't forget you will need a completely new exhaust system too.

You're confusing the issue by calling it a Stockman. A Stockman is either a late LJ80 or LJ81, or it is a Maruti LWB. By saying you have a 1lt Stockman, you are saying it's a Maruti, which won't need tunnel widening.
If it is actually an '83 metal dash, then it is a Sierra (a Type 2 SJ40, to be precise), and WILL need tunnel widening AND a new jackshaft yoke to fit the 5 speed.

A sierra ute?
Its just a cab chassis sierra. Stockman is just a badge mate. It doesn't add any prestige or value.
