The motor will bolt right in. The only issue you'll have is if you're keeping the TBI system. If you are, instead of keeping the control harness from the '90, go to someone like FAST and get an aftermarket control harness.

If you're keepign the carb setup from the '85, it'll bolt right onto the '90 motor.

I think the TBI heads have 4 center bolts that go straight down instead of at an angle l like the carb'd  block.  I've known guys to drill the intakes to fit, but if it were me I'd get the correct intake for the application.
