It might be different but if it works fine on the 85, I would just use it all, since you take the engine out and put it in without having to take off the turbo and IP... so why work harder for nothing? Definitely keep the old ones in case you need to replace them later

But I'd pay attention to the '85, if it is junk, then fine, but if it is a nice car... it might be better to find a good engine in a wreck or junk to take engine from.
