i assume the 83 is a 22r and the new one is a 22re. you should be able to bolt most of the accesories up.

the only difference that i know of is the block height, but that should only effect the timing chain if you swap heads around.

if the new one is fuel injected (re) it will have more power.

All of your 83 components will cross over to the 88 motor.
As far as the individual making the comment that the motor will make less power, this is false. The later will make more power than your 83 did, carb for carb. The later motors have a lighter rotating mass and MUCH less parasitic loss factors.
