As mentioned above '87 should be from the aft already, no need to tap.
and you don't need any special tools as far as thin wall sockets. Here are some options some have used:
-a 9/16" spark plug socket has a hex nut on the end of it and you can add another socket to that,
-if you do get the OEM shift cable the end guide near the hex nut can be unscrewed to tighten the nut with a regular socket then re screw the end guide back on.
-a 9/16" 1/2" drive deep socket (as is) worked for mine.
-a 9/16" nut driver has a hollow handle and will accept the cable guide.
you can cut off the old cable's end guide next to the nut and just unscrew the cable out of the bellhousing using a regular socket.
