It's do-able. Not very expensive, just a headache.

friend of mine just got an 86 that we are going to takle...looking to do a b series swap with the possibility of boost, what would be my best option because it seems like a lot of them have CRs that are too high to boost well.

How fast do you want to go and how much money do you have? No, I'm not being sarastic. Yes, I'm serious. Can you/will you do any of the work yourself? Have you done any wrenching before? Ever used a 7/8' gangley wrench?

And since no one has said it yet...
