There are no heads made in the aftermarket right now that will bolt onto a 86 motor with the flat top pistons. Chwck the thread. i got that from ford racing themselves.

"You can use Trick Flow twisted wedge heads to overcome the lack of valve reliefs in the pistons. The valve locations are revised and will not hit the pistons with cams under like .550 lift or something." This is a quote off the foureyepride.com site from a guy who did this conversion on his 86 Capri.
