bad idea dont do it. the turbo engine is engineered different including oil jets for the clyinders. If you want a turbo in your car just drop in a complete turbo engine. You run the risk of damaging the engine and transmission with you add a turbo to a non trubo.

The non-turbo engine can't handle the stress of a turbo.

Its simpler to simply buy a good used turbo motor and do the swap.
There have been lots of threads here regarding the differences. You'll spend more on parts than just swapping the motor will cost....and you'll be gettting the factory developed comprehensive system. I would buy a good running car complete which has cosmetic or body damage and swap all the desired parts over.

It might be best to get the engine and trans from the same car if you can...
that way you know they fit... about 1980 there was a change concerning something with the method of controlling the shifting.. vacuum related.... and you need for your engine stuff to match the trans on that... It even varies depending on the model as to when some changes went into place... Someone who knows more will speak up soon I hope... I just know that my 79 wagon auto trans from my NA car did not match up to a 1980 car in terms of that vacuum control...

pre 80 I think there was no vacuum. Can't imagine why switching the headers would change this.

Your turbo vanes are variable in the way a typical airplane propeller pitch is changeable ?
How is the change accomplished ?

Yes. A lever on the turbine housing controls their position.

I'm going to agree with folks that mention don't do it. I don't have any experience in these matters, but on turbo engines there is a spray nozzle under each piston to help with cooling. I think the IP is different too.
Good luck and keep us posted.
