they are the same intake...but you can change your throttle body, i'm pretty sure yours came with a 55mm and later model stangs have 58 or 60mm can't remember wich...anyway might be worth 2 hp

I think the 86 intake was a little more restrictive as well... i'm sure someone will chime in with a positive answer.

The lowers are the same - the 86 upper is supposed to have smaller runner cross section. Prob not enough to spend moneyon though - the lower is where the power is hidden.

Tom,
Would he notice any difference though having the lower ported on those E-6 heads?

Hard to say, I have never seen a flow test on stock 86 heads - or modified 86 heads for that matter. Anyone else?
