Default Doing a swap but the car has 87oct gas and doesn't run

I've always ran my ZC on 93 octane gas, I'm swapping it into someone elses car but they run 87 octane gas and still have a tank of it. There car does not run, should I bother with buying some octane booster or anything? Or should I just not worry about it?

zc will run on 87 or 89

When I had my dohc zc and was broke *** poor( I still am now and then) I ran 87 with no ping (stock ecu/timing/exhaust manifold).
Unless the tank is full of ****(or water) I don't see why the gas should be a problem.
