Default 85 HO pistons...releifs?

i have my old motor i pulled out that i was gonna put together for my friend for his car, he blew his motor.
dont know if i wana pull the heads off yet but i was wondering if they have the same pistons as the 86 where they dont have valve releifs? or are they the same as 87+ cars? they have e5 heads which are suposed to be the same as e7's with bigger chambers, so i dont see whyd they would have no reliefs.
was thinking about putting a cam in it, wanted to know what it could handle.

86 is the only year with flat top pistons.
