94 is OBD1, 96 is OBD2 and 96 has the fuel regulator back at the pump and no return line.
Probably best to retain the 96 electronics (PCM and sensors) and fuel rail. Basically swap in the 94 block.
What's worn out in the 96?

You guys are making this more complicated than it needs to be.

All you have to do is swap the long block.
Pull everything off your 94 motor and bolt it to the 96 motor.
