nope, not really. just the power steering pump, and I might have a solution for you concerning that here in the next week.
I got mine installed in about 6 hours when I did the swap, from nothing to running. but I had the cam from Mantapart for the 95+ power steering pump.
What about the cam sensor on the 95...it wont be on the HO?
95 5spd don't use the lobe even if it's there.

just to make sure..you know its 89-94 not 88-89 right? and you will need a few parts off your old engine to do the swap properly..like the water pump housing , alternator, and everything under your stock idi cover
I think it was a late 89 motor I sold him, it still had the 955 head, but I want to say it was a later casting number. Either way, it will bolt right up still (it had the same bolt holes as my 93), but I've been pushing him to find the higher lift cam and better head.
I forgot about the water pump being different, and you should keep all the electronics the same.
once I get this cam idea worked on Thursday, I'll make sure to PM you on how to do it properly. it should make things a lot easier for the 2.3L and 2.4L guys to make power.
sorry to bring this thread back but my 95 motor is blown and i finally found a complete HO motor for a quick swap.
hotbug- are there any updates on the cam idea?
scott- when you say everything under the IDI cover what do you mean?

under your idi cover there are electronics,coil packs, etc..you can use ANY idi cover but you have to keep the stock electronics that came with it..in other words if you want to use the "high output" cover..make sure you swap all the stock electronics from your old one over to it.dont try to use the old ones....
and like i said before keep your stock engine near by for the swap..youll need certain parts off it to make the swap easier
and i HIGHLY suggest finding a 92-94 5speed getrag that came with the HO...have you thought about one?
i was going to use the stock 95 trans. i didnt even think about it. Is it needed?

it is not NEEDED..just prefered..its a stronger tranny with better gear ratio's ..so itll hold up to the power better and be faster than the isuzu tranny....but its just an upgrade..i dont want you to think you HAVE to have it to run the HO
Hotbug: any word on the cam idea?
