I can say with 100% certainty that you cannot put an LT1 intake on an 86 Gen 1 engine. They are two very different breeds.
You'll need the complete engine, wiring harness and PCM. It's not a difficult swap, compared to some other options out there, but it's by no means a cakewalk. My TBI swap was 5x easier, and I've owned an LT1 car that I "upgraded" to an LT4 after owning it a few years.
They're great engines, but they are on their own little island as far as interchangability.
