Question Swapping gears

I want to swap the 3.55's in my 86 for 4.10's/w posi. How hard is the gear swap.
It is a 8.8" rear (the trucks)
Also I was behind a buddy with a 95 PSD with a E$OD and 4.10's on a 40HP edge.
He could not get away from me, He admitted he tried
I was kinda thinking I would get slaughtered. I thought my 86 had a 230HP 94 mustang motor. I'm thinking more now but How much????? The 86 will KILL! my 00 Zx2.

Well is it a 4x2 or 4x4 if 4x4 then you have to replace the front gears as well and are you running an auto or 4 or 5 spd.
