I believe the 86-95 blocks are the same. The carb motors have a diff timing cover. Also the newer blocks have roller cams

Yeah 86-95 will be the same. I believe 94-95 have different timing covers.

the only block differces In the 87-93 blocks is an extra tab for the smog pump I believe, the 94/95 doesn't have then and this will get in the way of the 94/95 brackets and trimming may be needed, it was on my car. I put a 89 in my 95

Well my brackets are for a vortech so yours might clear. But I just trimmed a lil 1in square out of the the bracket.

How did you throw a rod? Overrev? no oil?
All you have to do is swap over all your accessories,and timing cover + headers, intake,fuel rail and dizzy.
