Engines are the same, the 95s had a bad batch of intake valves. I'd go with a 93-94 The blocks are all the same you can simply swap manifolds from a 97/98 if you wanted a newer engine. 97/98 also use COP vs coil packs/wires.
I'll join in on the weight loss circlejerk. :D
I lost 5 lbs in two weeks by simply working out at lunch vs after work... it really keeps the metabolism up.
