I am considering putting this motor in the 77 if the motor in the 77 needs some work. I prefer design of the turbo motor. Some of my ideas include putting this motor in without the turbo and swapping parts over from the 77 motor to the turbo motor, How much is this possible?

I need to add this in here -as I dont want you to waste your time and money on somthing that will not last.
A crank on a 617 engine will not last if it is machined down. They were ferritic nitro-carburized at the factory(
http://www.ahtweb.com/ferritic.cfm) and machining them down undos this process and will not stand up
as well to the abuse of the turbo. Sure you most machine shops tell you its not that big a deal and get your money , turnig down your crankshaft- they are not liable. BUT -It wont last long -
I know from experience! LOL!
