computer change
You would have to change the computer to the same as used in the turbo charged engine, also add an oil cooler for the turbo, and if I were you, I would also add a cooling fan mounted next to the turbo to keep it cool, as the oil in turbo charged engines get so hot, that they have a tendency to coke up in the lines and cause turbo lockup. I'm not that familar with GM turbo's, but I have done several Porches and BMW's and coking of the oil is a huge problem. You also may want to check the condition of the engine before you install it. I would do a complete rebuild as if you only do the heads, you will surely blow up the bottom. I have a 79 elky that came with a stock 267 V8 and I was so dissapointed with the output (125 HP), that I installed a corvette small block, with a holley intake and carb, stock rearend, and I couldn't be more pleased with the results. Still get decent mileage, but boy does she fly. So you might be better off considering a V8 in lieu of the turbo, you'll be a lot happier and keep your money in your pocket. Except for gas.
Good Luck
