itis fairly simple to locate the engine number on the engine.on your 85 , go look right next to the distributor to the left a bit and you will see that it says ea-81 or ea-82.i bet that one is an ea-81.your 87 is more than likely an ea-82.the main difference in these engines is the timing belt setup on the ea-82.there are other differences, but that is the most noticeable.

ill have to check the # when i get them towed to my house this evening im hopeing the motors are the same model since im dropping the 87 motor in the 85. just curious is the # difference meaning ohv or ohc motor?

 

yes.

ea81 = ohv

ea82 = ohc

 

your should both have ea82 engines, unless they were modified from stock (like my 87) :)
