93 uses hypo pistons. as long as you swap over all your sensors and stuff it shoud run just fine

Direct Replacement. You wont need to change a thing! All the sensors,accesories,intake etc... are the aame.

The Mass air has nothing to do with the engine or how it will run. Stick with the same computer and wiring, bolt the motor in and your good to go!

drain the tranny first unless you have a spare driveshaft yoke to plug it with. Start from the bottom then work your way to the top. thats so your not laying in coolant and tranny fluid.
slowly pull the engine out to verify everything has been disconnected.
Get some jack stands


btw. its gonna rain hard all week.
