yes you can swap back and forth. i have an 87 and a 93 chassis,you have to play with the axle spacers, and chain guide. i put my 87 s-arm in the 93 because it's wider to fit my sand scoop,[18"]   and my 19" michelin

Friar-Tuck:
Thank you guys for posting what you have actually swapped.
  I am guilty myself of " I read somewhere"  and not having the parts to actually have swapped things out. 
  Thanks again,

CR480R:
The 87 wheel does not fit IMO. I am just gonna use the whole 87 setup. I plan to do some hillclimbing and it'll be easier to make extensions for the '87 swinger.

Goat:
I have an 87 Wheel on my 93. Had to grind both spacers down to fit. It's been a couple years since I did that but I think the right side spacer needed more grinding for the caliper and chain to line up.

I don't know about turdle but my buddy has a 92 with a 87 swinger and it throws the suspension geometry way off. It's about 4" lower than mine without anyone on it and even lower with someone on. The shock is great but the linkage is all kinds of screwy mixed and matched parts. Maybe if you use the 87 shock and linkage it would be ok?

All the parts between the 90 and 94 are interchangeable. I don't think there were any trans changes between the 2. I know in 95 the shift shaft was updated but still interchanges with the older machines just need a updated shift lever and you're good to go. 94 Suspension is way better than the 90 by far so even if they leak rebuild them. It's worth it.

Any other questions or concerns feel free to pm me. Laid off work for winter so I have all the time in the world.
Cheers and good luck.
