both ace and RU will fit. Ace has a single top mount tho'.

RU has different rad and oil cooler...they're combined in the same unit. Also the oil filter is different...spin on cartridge type as opposed to paper element

Both above have basic same shape and size as your original

ace engine has 2 top mounting holes and will not fit the exup frame

all model years from 89 to 96 will fit strait in with oil cooler mods in the later ru models as stig said .
