Default Which 2.3 engine?

First off, I want to thank anyone who reads and responds to my request. I have read some of the posts here and there is alot of knowledge with all of you. Now for my question.

I want to put together a drive train for a car I am building and have become intrigued with the 2.3 turbo. Not knowing much about them, I need a little help. First, I have access to a 1985 Must LX with the 2.3 EFI, with a 5 spd. Is the block the same in this engine as in a turbo model? Although this entire drive train will be transplanted, what am I looking at to convert to a turbo system? What kind of wiring issues am I faced with by doing this or should I try to find a turbo'd motor with all the correct wiring and what evers attached? Any help would be appreciated, even if it is not what I would like to hear. I am not going to build a monster motor, basically a stock turbo up to about 200 to 225 hp. Am I blowing smoke?

Again, thanks for all your thoughts and input. I thought this combination would make a nicedrive train in a track T.

I'm planing to do this swap also. From what I've found so far the 2.3N/A & 2.3T are basicly the same except for forged pistons in the 2.3T (considered a must have for turbo engines). Almost all parts are interchangeable. You will also need the computer, VAM (vane air meter) & fuel injectors from the turbo car. You can find more info HERE or HERE
