Default 4 eyed differences

I'm looking to purchase a 85 mustang gt to restore (don't ask I have a soft spot for the 4 eyed foxes) but looking at parts I notice the 86 is alaYs listed and a lot of the time the 85 is left out.. Any info in the differences of the 4 eyes ? Or any of the foxes in general but specifically the differences of the 85. I searched but didn't find any direct answers. I'm currently unable to use my computer and don't normally post via phone so excuse the mess of a post this may be.

You dont have to have an excuse to want a 4 eye.

Thanks 86 5.0l that's basically what I was trying to find. And yes I read the stickies but I thought this WAS tech related as I wanted details on changes. I still don't get why a lit if times it will be specific to a 86+ when the differences between 85 and 86 are min. Makes me wonder if some of the parts I looked at would fit (bumpers and such) I guess the big change was efi so that helped me out some. Thanks for the links guys latemodelrestorations has my interior parts I planned to get I found it lastnight and I'll check out 4eyedpride
