Yeah baby....I think only standards thats why FI autos have less hp 180 as opposed to 210 for the beloved 85. Last year of the carb too. 5 speeds for sure. That is roller cam too....not to be confused with roller rockers...only 93 Cobras had those. The 85 has 7.5 rear 86 has 8.8. Both have crappy brakes 87+ are better. The 87+ headlights are different. 85 & 86 fronts are the same. 86 are all fi but have bad heads and bad fi. The 86 has true dual exhaust 85 has 1 into 2. 86 has 10 less hp than 85 but 15 more torque. The 87+ have 225 hp. In 89 they changed a bit....but my brain is suffering burnout but mass air for the 90's. 89 and up are most desired. The 93 Cobra is the best. There....... I shared some knowledge....I hope you care and appreciate it. Not that you asked. lol.
