Im building a wide block (4g64) for my rig and I have a few questions,
Can I use any of the timing parts from this block? If not what is required
to put my 4g63 head on I have? I have been doing alot of research and found some part numbers but not sure if the ones I have on this motor are the same.
One last thing is the factory pistons can I use these for my turbo setup or do I need
to get some new ones.
4G64 lower end timing parts?

Assuming you mean 4G64 wideblock, There is very little you can use from the SOHC timing system. I have outlined most of it on this page:
http://projectzerog.com/sohc-dohc.shtml
The 4G54 (G54B) (2.555L) is of a different family from the 4G64 (G64B) (2.4L) and thus very little interchanges.

Getting the engine bolted in is about 10% of the way there.
The next 80% can go quickly with help and skill.
That last 10% takes about as long as the 90% that came before it.

Yeah, you can use all of the timing parts from the 2.0 DOHC except of the cam gears (you can use them but will need to account for slightly different markings) and timing belt.

A 99 is most certainly a 7 bolt while your 92 4G64 is probably a 6 bolt. Just about everything is different between a 6 and 7 bolt.
