Hello Alan, and welcome to NSR-WORLD!
Technically, the '88-'96 motors are all interchangeable, only the 1987 won't easily transfer, as it has solid engine mounts as opposed to the later models' rubber mounts. There are however a number of differences to sort through, such as GPS (Gear Position Sensor)/neutral switches, A/C generator harnesses, ignitor coil harnesses/flywheels etc. Just make sure not to mix-and-match model parts, no matter how similar they may look, as it can lead to issues. (I.e. use all 1989 MC18 [R5/6K] OR '90-'93 MC21 components, including the carbs, air correction, and PGM.)
