If you are trying to run bone stock ....

The answer is yes, a 95 will bolt right in change the timing chain cover and use all of your EBD2 sensors and the car will run fine.

For 94 and earlier Y-body, change the cam, and timing chain cover IOT use your vented opti and then use all of your EBD2 sensors

For 92-93 swap intakes,


F and B body engines will work too, but you will need to change some stuff too.

and the reluctor wheel and the associated stepped style crankshaft key from the 96; should probably use the 96 crank hub; it may be slightly shorter to accommodate the thickness of the reluctor wheel

Thanks I was coming back on here to add that...

(I was in a rush bunch of family over for Easter Dinner)

the 96-97 LT1 hubs are a couple of RCH shorter IOT make up for the reluctor

I know the knock sensors are different for sure. But why not just reuse the ones in your car.
