Yes.
You take out the open diff carrier, remove the ring gear from it, put the ring gear on the posi carrier, and install the posi carrier into your rear end.
There is no "kit". It will cost a great deal more than that for a 85.
In addition to the normal clutch-type posi units, you could also get a "mini-spool" (very bad for street use, turns your car into an unguided missile on wet pavement) or a Powertrax Locker.
