1986 was the introduction of the 1 piece rear main seal. An earlier crankshaft won't fit without an expensive adapter.

Yep

And Summit still carries lots of kits that will work for an 86. Check out their website and search their Eagle rotating assemblies. You can still get the Hypereutectic Pistons, cast crank, at the ratings and price you're looking at in the other mentioned kit.
