There is none

You would have to use a set of 88 to 91 heads
and find a 4 bl intake

These heads have rocker shafts and a 1.5 ratio
your mag has 1.6

now you would have to change ignition and lots
of wireing why in the world would you want to
do something like this

Not a good idea

there is a wire splice you need to check. it's in the harness about 6- 8 inches after it leaves the PDC(power dist. box). 4 wires into 1. you'll have to peel the insulation back to see it. even it if looks ok redo it. preferably soldering it.

daddio has you headed in the right dirrection
in the engine bay find the under hood fuse/relay box
(black) on the inner fender well (drivers side) right near the battery
remove the box un-do the black tape holding the wire's together
once you have the wires exsposed your looking for a splice of 3 or 4 wires (solder together)
mine were red and white
the solder joint will be all cruded up
maybe even snapped off
cut out the bad stuff
re-do the splice and tape it all back up nice to keep water out
and you should be good
90% of the time the problems your talking about are from this splice
good luck and give us and update

Well if the fuel pump is priming and there is spark, and fuel rail has pressure/ fuel, could the injectors be the culprit? Is there a relay/ fuse for the injectors?
