You should be able to find a solid front axle for 200 dollars or less, and no, nothing from your IFS will work on the solid axle. IFS gears are 7.5'' and solid axle gears are 8''.

V6 or I4 Calipers both work =) and I got my 85 front complete stock axle for $200. Which is actually a steal here in the PNW for an unmolested stock 85! complete axle.
