You are heading down the exact same road I took.
If I were to do it all over again, I'd just build another motor and prewire it for one of today's tuning solutions.
Seriously.. I did the bone stock 86 and threw every mod at the top end that it would take (including TFS heads and cam). I cheated the sht out of SD for a couple of years before doing the conversion. On and on and I still have the A9L I initially converted to. It's the weakest link in my engine combo. LoL
Build a new motor from the junkyard and get it ready for a drop-in fit. That's my recommendation. Should save a ton of time, money, and headache.
