First off a little better grammar and some proper punctuation will make your question much easier to respond to.
Secondly, from what I gathered, your asking will a 86' 5.0 fit in your car? Yes, there are millions of write up's on the swap. Just not in the 2.3 forum.

Head on over to the 5.0 section and do a quick search on 5.0 swap .

86 is still 4 lug unless someone has already done the swap.

Ugh.

86 what?

If it's a Mustang then the engine is not carbed. GT's had the EFI 5.0 and LX 5.0's were CFI.

What exactly is the question?

If it's converting a 93 2.3 car to a 5.0 car, ask in the 5.0 forum.

The basic answer is, yes, you can pretty much make any combination of 86 and 93 stuff work. The biggest diff is in the dashes and interior.

1986 GTS and LX 5.0- cars have the same engine including EFI. 84 -85 auto cars had the cfi while the 5spd cars had the old carb.

I really dont understand what the original auther was asking.
