Alright I'm curious if it would be a better bang for my buck to buy a cheap v8 94-95 sn95 and swap everything over to my 93 4cyl or try and find a cheap fox as a donor? I see sn95s for usually cheaper and more readily available + they have factory 5 lug disc, and i wouldnt need to worry about trying to find a 91-93 5.0 for the swap due to smog.
Now im curious if the fuel lines, hard brake lines, are different set up? If driveshaft is different length? I know front end is same will bolt up except for sway bar(correct me if im wrong) if the AOD would fit no problem not being bigger housing or anything?
Would i have a problem with the wiring harness being different?
I read somewhere that the dash cluster on fox's have a 4cyl 6cyl 8cyl switch? True?

The best parts on the 94/95 I would use would be the rearend, and front spindle/brake package.
None of the wiring is going to be compatible with the fox,you will need the V8 92.5-93 only computer harness (which I currently have one left)
The motor will work but the transmission is an AODE and is computer controlled so that wont work out for you either.
Best bet is to buy a 88-93 parts car and swap over, you will need that 92.5-93 computer harness though if you don't buy a parts car that year.
Not enough useable parts to justify buying a SN95 just to convert unless you sell everything you can't use and get it cheeeeeaaaaap.
