Default 2.3L turbo project

sorry you guys ive been gone a while. well i sold my signature ride and found something even better and fuel efficient. now its all abstract and hard for me at least. sense i know nothin about the 4 banger svo. now then down to business. i sold my stang because of gas even at 3.50 its still pricey for a teenager. the point is i was looking on craigslist and found this wonderful svo but, the engine is all orginal which means in not so great condition. even better the exterior is in good condition. EVEN better i found a guy who is selling a 2.3L N/A on the same page. i was wondering whether i should keep the svo block because of the pistons and add parts from the N/A block. or should i convert the N/A to a turbo. ive read the thread about doing this and im not looking for any difficulty as i need this car fairly quick but i can install bolt-on parts with not much difficulty. anyway the N/A was just rebuilt but has cast iron pistons but is in great working order... should i convert it to turbo or can i just add parts to the svo as needed. thanks yall

I am not really sure where you are headed here with taking parts from a N/A engine and adding to the SVO I4.
The crank and rods are identical in both engines.
The SVO has a better flowing head than the N/A.
The SVO has forged pistons unlike the N/A engine.
