yes and no. 86' was the dawn of a new era for the 5.0, but it was also the one and only year of about the crappiest heads you'll find gracing the 5.0 - hence why it was a one year only thing. I assume you know all the other stuff that needs to be present to make it work as well however, a swap doesn't just mean throw an 8 cylinder monster in a 4-banger setup. However though, for $300 you've got a great foundation and hopefully a block that hasn't been rebuilt before so it is capability for the future. My advice would still be to at the very least recondition it and preferrably rebuild it before you toss it in there (no fun in having to rip it all out no sooner than you put it in there when it does need a rebuild), good luck
