It's pretty much a bolt-on.

The only issue you may run into is the hole for the Temp Gauge Sender/Switch may not be drilled and tapped, or it may be and it'll have a plug in it instead. A thermostat housing from a later model 4.0 will have a port in it for a temp sensor; perfect place to move it to...

As Jim stated the later model 96ers, Ran the temp gauge off the computer sender in the thermostat housing, so they plugged the port in the back of the head. Most of these plugs should be a removable brass plug or something similar. There is no place to install your current stock gauge sender if that plugged port is sealed permanently. Your 92 intake will bolt right up, in fact the gaskets are same part number.
