85 rear end into a 84

Question
I have a 85 wagon that is now a parts car.]
I have a 84 CD can I put the rear end in the 84 with the axles attached? Can I use the speedo from the 85 in the 84? Not sure I remember hearing the 85's were electric


Thanks for your answers

correct. only the 85 speedometer has the correct gearing.
lemme know if you need part numbers to verify before you install the speedo, as I've got a few 85 speedo's ( and 85 cars too...)
