There are several swaps that you can do with little trouble. But you need time and money for all of them.

Is your 86 blown?

Any 86-88 engine. Sticking a turbo into a non-turbo's a bit tricky, but possible. The more troubles you are ok with, the higher you can go, such as a 20B, a 305/350 chevy, a 302 ford, some of those screwy number supra engines (god damn why can't they make it easy!?) And so forth, depends on your abilities and the time you want to invest (and money, of course)

My kid has a less serious hobby, " dad, the 7 wont start" After further inspection, replace one starter, one pos cable to starter (they are conjoined and cannot seperate) and, hold a lession on flipping a switch for the 1,000th time.
