I think they will go on the '86.
I've seen the opposite.

N2billets red 68 Lucy was bagged w/2.5" dropped spindles. He ran 20x8.5's & a 255-40 w/buzzing only @ lower air settings. I bought a similar pkg for my 68 & thought WTH, I'll run them on my 74 for a little 'change'. They were positively a 'no-go' on the 74 @ roughly 5.5-6" front drop (static drop w/3" spindle & 1-coil removed). They buzzed the tops of the inner wheel-wells just poking down the alley.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
