Swap the longblock in, resuse your Y8 intake, exhaust, distributor and ECU. I think thats about it, someone tell me if i missed something.

you can't run a 95 in a 96, has to be the same year engine as the chassis or newer per state regulatory crap. you might not pass inspection, and get ****.
a sohc is 300 from a junkyard just grab a 99 or something. easyer to swap in, no law headaches.

Injector plugs are different, I believe, so cut the ends off a '92-'95 so they'll plug up.
Also, I'm not sure about - but the alternator plug might be different...also, the distributor that you mentioned, the plug is different there for sure.

Yeah, injector plugs are definately different, i'd just swap the whole fuel rail and injectors along with intake manifold, alternator plug is also different as you said, '92 - '95 is round, i believe '96 - '00 is square.
