It has been done, but probably not the best way to start. There are many differences between turbo and non-turbo engines (sodium filled exhaust valves, special pistons and oil cooling jets, probably more things). In other words, you may end up with melted pistons.

The NA injection pump will be missing some key things (like an ALDA) and is not a good starting point either. It may be an electronically controlled pump, which also makes modifications much much harder.
