OM606 NA Conversion Project

Newbie to this forum! Great info!
After trolling on this forum and several others (off and on) for the past 2 years (after Katrina) looking for a 3.0L 6 cyl. diesel engine for a conversion project, I have decided to investigate deeply the OM606 NA with the 722.5/6 auto transmission. Keeping the engine and trans together should solve the electronic ECM and TCM problems. However, I do have a few questions for those of you in the know.

Does anyone have the specs (hp, torque, bore, stroke, etc.) on this engine? I see that the HP is 134 but at what rpm?

I have read on this forum that you cannot put a turbo on this engine without replacing the pistons and connecting rods. Does the crank need to be replaced as well? Does anyone know a rough price of the turbo pistons and conn rods?

Any help will be much appreciated!
