The v-6 theye put in the TTA was a little different. they used FWD 3.8 heads because the RWD heads could not clear the exahust manifolds to the shock towers. Make shure that you use an automatic. When GM did the TTA they looked at the possibialty of a five speed mated whith the turbo car and it was a full second slower in the qtr mile. Also the GM 10 bolt axle that they used in the TTA was the 10 bolt the the 8.5" ring gear. Most other f-bodies used the 7.5" The turbo v-6 motor will eat that 7.5" rearend for lunch. It can be done. I think that some other changes where made to, ill have to look it up. My uncle has a TTA so if you need pics or anything like that let me know.
