I successfully did the chore (86 16VT with less than 60K original miles on the engine, plus 88 tranny into an 82T 4 door)in March of last year. Fairly straight forward as far as the swap went. I too posted a bunch of stuff on the job. What I didn't do was use any of the 86 fuel delivery or engine electronics, keeping the 82 fuel and elec components, but converted to work with the 16V engine. Took me about three days of shop time, working 10 hours a day. It's my daily driver and has been working flawlessly since it first started. Passed CA state smog (barely - needs new cat convertor) too.
