should have no issue unless you have high rise covers if so you need plenum spacers 1/2 -1" and the oil filler neck may be in back not front,i bought a crete motor and it came with the same as you have I cleaned and painted the old ones and they look better then what came with motor

The only potential problem I see is the alternator hitting the cover on the 94-95 cars. Don't think it's an issue on the foxes

So you will need a push on cap for the drivers side front hole, you can get that at any part store
