Why?
I'm not sure about 90's, but 91-94 should all be the same. With a 90, you'll need an oil cooler, and I think the throttle cables are different. That's the only difference I know.

long story short i bolt a tranny bolt in the block... Pulled the engine to get it out and my dad who drill the bolt out but hit a water jacket... So now oil is mixing with coolant. So all of the sensors and connectors are the same??? I thought i seen a link of it a while back but wasnt able to find it...

If you put a 90 engine in your car it will work, but you will need to use all of your 91 sensors, and oil filter housing. Or, run the 1990 oil cooler.

Hey what's that power transistor? I heard something about changing that too...

Just use the 90 engine like it was a long block and take everything else from your existing engine.
