I know that the rotors are 10 inch for the 86 and 11 inch for the 87. They both use a 60 mm caliper. Are they the same thing? Will an 87 caliper work on an 86 and vice versa?
Are 86 and 87 brakes the same?

No, they are not the same. If you want to run '87-'93 5.0 brakes you need to have '87-'93 5.0 spindles. The '87-'93 2.3 uses the same brakes as a Pre-'87 5.0.
Everything is different between the two, different calipers, rotors, lines, bearings, seals, struts. The only part they share alike is the outer wheel bearing. You can use pre-87 struts with the '87-'93 5.0 spindle, but it requires using shims on both sides of the spindle to do so.
