Hi, I'm looking at motors for my fox and In ran across a motor out of a 95.
I am planing on using all the brackets and accessories off the 91 fox engine on the 95 engine. but there some things that I would like to know
1- will I need to change the timing cover?
2- will the oil pans be the same?
3- will the 95 harmonic balancer work with the fox accsories?
4-will the polit bearing be a problem? I'm runing a t-5 5 speed and this motor is out of a 95 automatic
Thanks Lee

The distributor is different if I remember correctly, also the intake too. They have the elbow where the throttle body is. Not sure on the rest

Water pump, timing chain cover, intake and valve covers are different. There is more but I'm brain dumping.

I have a supercharger intake that I will be running with a Mallory distributor so I think I have the top of the engine covered. And I have a set of valve covers.
I am just sort of wondering what I will need to do to the front and the oil pan.
If I pick this 94 engine up I would like to set it all up and have it ready to drop in on the engine stand. And I would like to have all the accessories on the engine when I drop it in. Air conditioning, steering pump, alt. Ect

It's just that this supercharger set up has it's own belt off the lower pulley and I want to make sure that everything clears and that everything lines up ahead of time before I drop it in. if I have a problem I would like it to be while it's on the engine stand not after it's in the car.--might be easier this way--

It's starting to look like if I buy the 95 engine that I should find a 86-93 5.0 that I can strip everything off of for this engine. I would like to keep driving the fox until the 95 motor is ready to drop in.

any helpful tips or insight would be appreciated
