Leave it alone, a stock 86 with 30k is worth $$$

I am gonna run an explorer intake, ported e7 heads, and e-cam, etc. I have been told i will be in the 260-280 hp range. It's similar to your combo.
hope that helps.
Also if you run ported stockers, you wont need special headers.

With GT40s, you won't need special headers.

if its an original 86 engine you might have problems with piston to valve clearance with any kind of cam
the heads and intake themselves would be a nice addition though ....

yes but 97 and later explorer engines had gt40p heads that do require special headers
