Mike,
First of all, welcome to the dark side, and good luck! :-)
I can't say with 100% certainty, but the brackets and accessories
and such don't look any different on the newer trucks as far as the
engine goes. I would say, since you've got a '94-95 computer on the
way, if you definitely want to stick with those years, then the
only thing you really need from '94-95 is the wiring harness.
(Actually '93 might work too, but I don't know for sure; I don't think
there was a '92 360 Magnum.) The engines should all be about the same,
its just a matter of hooking the sensors up to them... As far as an
OBD-II engine goes, really the only thing that makes them OBD-II is
the computer. ('96 also eliminated the EGR)
Anyway, I don't know if that helps at all, but good luck with the
project, and if you ever run against me... be nice. :-)
