From your description + not seeing them, I'd fix up the 1992 + part out the 1986 (due to rust).
I don't know too much about the older cars (ie the '86)... I suppose the '86 gearbox is a little weaker + there may be incompatibilities, but if it's good (ie how worn is it?), maybe it's worth swapping it over to the '92? Others here with experience in the older years will likely chime in (or search)... doing the clutch is not so bad...
these engines are pretty tough. as Justin said, are you sure the engine drained, not just the gearbox?
while you're at an engine swap, it's probably a good time to do some other restoration work (including fix up any cosmetic rust etc)... oil spray it once you're done! "Rust free" and "New England" don't happen without oil spray... If you love these cars, good to try to preserve them...
