Take a look at the fact sheet for the info you want. The '84 did have a different ratio than the others. 20:1 as opposed to 15:1.

I think most guys with 84s upgrade when they need a new rack unless they are keeping it in stock condition.

change to 86?

ok, i looked at the facts sheet, when i get to work tomorrow i want to look for a rack for an 86 right? bolt up and everything will work? i wont have to remod everything?

I upgraded my 84 to the later Fox 15:1 "high effort" rack used on the 85 and later Mustang GT's and SVO'. It is one of the best mods I ever did! You will have to replace the high pressure hose to do the swap. The 84 SVO hose won't fit the 15:1 rack. I used the hose for an 85 Mustang 2.3 NA application.
