1986 5.0 with 85 shortblock

oh thank you so much Dark Knight, you've saved me a bunch of trouble I can already tell. I'll be sure to go check what the aircleaner says once I have some spare time.

If you rebuild the 86 short block, make sure you get different pistons. The stock ones dont have enough valve relief to run much more than the stock cam.
