Out of curiousity, what is your reason for wanting to upgrade? If you want an NA transmission, go to eBay and buy one for around $75.00 any day you want one.

The turbo transmission will require a custom driveshaft to connect to the NA diff (different splines). Plus it will require a lot of electrical work (the wires for the reverse lights, 5th gear switch and neutral switch will not reach). The NA trans will take NA power just fine (if it starts out in good shape).

I have killed two of them, but both were old to start with and I am making 160 Wlb-ft of torque (200 Lb-ft at the flywheel).
