Non turbo CD to Turbo Swap

Just wondering if an early 80's 617 turbo engine will bolt in to a 1980 CD non-turbo model? Thanks!

It should but you may have to be creative with hoses and routing

You will need the turbo exhaust.
The trans may have slightly different change points from those of a trans for a turbo, not sure though.
Is the radiator the same size?

Thanks for the replies. I haven't bought the car yet so not sure on radiator size. Would like the CD but want a turbo version. maybe just keep looking for one instead of trying to do this. Thanks!
