Here is a thread where a member swapped a 5.0 push rod engine into an 86. Pretty much the same as 93 with the exception of substitution of 92-93 parts. It is not for the faint of heart or the mechanically inept. It will involve swapping engine, trans and rear end but also includes most of the wiring, fuel lines and other associated part/pieces.
You may consider leaving the 4 cylinder in place and enjoy the ride. I say this because there are countless hacked up half finished nice 4 cylinder cars that were turned to junk or half assed carb swapped crap sitting in someone's back yard or junked because someone got in over their head.
It can be done but it will require a V8 car for parts, add to that the 92-3 cars have wiring changes and the addition of air bags.
