Direct fit would bolt right in place

Chances are you will be doing a lot of changing. When you change from one year to another, it is usually a headach. That is why we recommend direct fit parts.

alright,one last question.will the transmission match up with the rear of the new block?i looked into the motor and it said that 91 to 94 would be ok,but my main question is going from tbfi to straight fi if itll make a huge change.
