Short answer? No! You'll need to create a fuel return or hack the fuel rails for one. Been there done that last year when I needed a replacemnet V6 for my 95. I got a 97 which added 10HP, My techies (Need For Speed in Clearwater, FL) researched this and found that sticking a 98 and up one in would be a lot more labour intensive and thus cost a lot more. I found $1800 enough for a 95 V6 that's probably worth less than $5000 anyway.

Your very welcome. That is what this place is all about, sharing of knowledge. If your technical enough and can do it yourself, you can put a

98+ V6 in a 94-97 V6 but it's going to take a lot of work, that fuel return/fuel rail issue is only part of it. I remember several more items I was told that needed to be changed, adapted in order for it to work.

My daughter just wrecked her 92 5.0 and is sick about it so i'm trying to build her a new car. I brought a 96 with a blown motor and want to make sure i buy the right motor.

Those motors are available very inexpensively... just about any year...
