Right... The '85/'86 intake cams have offset lobes to produce "swirl" in the combustion chamber. On later heads, they went with identical lobes but different sized intake ports to produce the same effect. The exhaust cams have a slightly different profile as well. FWIW, that profile made the NA and Turbo exhaust cams identical. Were I doing it, I'd use an '87+ intake and '85/'86 exhaust in an '86 head. I think that would probably be the best setup using stock parts. I would *not* use the early intake cam, that's for sure.
