Upgrading / replacing my 5 spd freewheel

Is it possible to upgrade/replace the 5 spd Suntour freewheel on my 1986 Bridgestone MTB with something like this?

I'll have to check, but I'm guessing the spacing is 126mm. Wasn't that the spacing for 1980s MTB's?

Would there be any downsides to doing this other than having to buy two freewheel tools (the Suntour FR-2 and the splined Shimano)? Would everything work well with my stock triple asymmetric biopace ring?
