Non-Turbo IP with Turbo?

Has anyone every swapped an IP from turbo 617 onto a Naturally Aspirated one? I have an engine from an '81 Non-Turbo with a starting problem that may be IP related, and am curious if it would be possible to test results with a swap from an '84 turbo model. My friend and neighbor has one pulled he's offered if possible. I'm aware there are difference, but just curious if this could be a feasible test?

It may bolt in and work but they are not the same.

If you describe in more detail what your car is doing we might be able to help diagnose the problem, which is unlikely to be the injection pump.

Four things are needed to start a diesel: fuel, compression, air and glow plugs. Starting problems are always related those things. First thing to check is glow plug function, second is fuel and air filters, last thing to suspect is the injection pump. If you have everything else and the injection pump is the problem you should be able to spray wd40 directly into the intake and run it on that. If you can do that and it runs on it then you know you have a fuel delivery problem. Start with fuel filters. If there is black dots in the clear filter you have a bacteria problem. A treatment with biocide should cure that.

Good luck.
