Both would be big jobs and would depend on what you had to work with, but the interior swap could be done over the course of days and the engine swap would be something that would tie up the car for the length of the swap which would involve matching up the electronics, the exhaust, motor mounts, transmission linkage, drive shaft length.... Did I mention I have tried these sort of swaps before?

If you swap in a 606 NA or 606 turbo with an OM603 IP and some sort of non-computerized tranny, wouldn't you just pull out the right bulbs from the instrument cluster and carry on? I ask because I would think that the interior electronics would be hard to transfer over between two cars... e.g., even swapping later 126 memory seat switches into an earlier 126 is a big pain.
