read some automotive books, magazines on build-ups, ask questions, and whats the condition of the 86? start simple and work your way up, try rebuilding a lawn mower engine or something

I have an 86 GT motor in my car (91 LX former 4 banger). If this is an EFI car, be careful modifying it. Any specific questions, just ask.
