That's because in '86 they used crappy swirl port heads, if anything they should say Ford skipped a year in '86. Thankfully the engine still put out enough torque. But headers from an '85 are still headers. Headers made for an 87 and up 5.0 WILL work just fine for an '85.
Also, since hardly anybody uses the stock '85 heads and Gt40 etc.... heads fit any 5.0 of that generation headers are interchangable.

Yeah, the unfortunate thing about the '85 was the single exhaust... also, the heater core sucked big time..
