I have exactly the same combination in my '94 - be sure to set the rev limiter to 6000 or so, it won't stop pulling until you let up! My stock motor would run out of power at 5400 rpm - when it would stop pulling I knew it was time to shift. This new motor will make max power around 6500 - pulls like a locomotive!! Hope you put long-tube headers and 1.6 Comp Cams rockers on there, too. You'll like this!!
