VFAQ is your friend. Search is your best friend.

I'll humor you anyway. The engine can either be a 6 bolt of a 7 bolt, which refers to the flywheel bolts. The main difference is the 7 bolts (specifically the second generation) tendancy to crank walk. 90-92.5 came with the 6 bolt engine. Later models had the 7 bolt.

The 4 bolt rear (Vs 3 bolt) refers to the number of bolts on the rear axle cups. The 3 bolts (90-91) are a triangular shape and had 3 bolts. The 4 bolts (92+) are circular and have 4 bolts. The design is much stronger.

Unless either one has been changed out you probably have a 6 bolt engine and a 4 bolt rear end.

According to you he has a 3 bolt rear , as he is a 91 .

Good catch. Very sorry. I meant to say 3 bolt. All 90 and 91's should have a 3 bolt from the factory.
