Nope, the center bolts on the heads are different.

On you're 89 TBI heads the center 4 manifold bolts go straight down, on the 86 the manifold bolts are all angled.

You can pick up a good manifold like a Performer series intake from Summit for around $100 and use a TBI adapter plate, or swap the heads.
