if they are both speed density, then yes. you might have to switch out the sensors/intake, but the 302 block should be the same

there are some late model 94's out there though that have a 302 with the 351 firing order/cam. I have one of these. this motor will still work, you just have to look at a chilton and run the spark plug wires to the correct cylinder

It's not so much the firing order that makes less power, it's the cam design in general. You could swap your roller cam and lifters into the 88 block and it would be just like the 94 engine.
