Jason, lotsa different parts between the turbo and NA engines. Throw in the head with the SLS pump for the TDs and you've got another set of variables.

What is the extent of the "blown" motor? If it's fixable why not just get the NA parts you need, especially given the SLS pump? Otherwise swapping in another TD engine would probably be the easiest, either NA or turbo. Not the best reference point, but I've seen complete used engines on ebay in the $1500 range.

Rearend is a 3.46 I believe.

While at some point I'd like to add a turbo TD to my garage for modification purposes, there is something to be said for the simplicity of the NA.
