If you want to do the lower intake it will be tricky. If you just use the upper and TB from an 89-91 or 93-95 then you can make an adapter plate or port match your lower to match the new upper. I have an FD upper intake and TB I need to put on my 89-91 motor, but I haven't gotten around to it yet.

My 89-91 lower is a TII lower manifold. I thought you were talking about a TII manifold. You can make the 89-91 or 93-95 stuff fit, but you may have some issues with all of the factory sensors bolting on.

What about the throttle cable and the oil lever mechanizism thingy( the lever that goes up from the oil pump thing, u know the one with the four hoses, i can;t remember its name)? will they fit on?

For the 89-91 intake it will all fit pretty easily. For the 93-95 manifold you'll have to work a little to make things fit, but it can be done.

if you have the mechanical omp you will have to swap to the electrical one, also you need a modified lower intake mani or adapter plate, plus the FD throttle cable,tps sensor,and elbow, i am not sure if the stock ecu will recongnize the FD tps though,and i ported and polished the inside of my t.b and knifed the edges on the manifold it self took those damn butterfly things out and bored those holes out too
