I think you'll find better answers here. If you'd like it back in OT, let me know...

Well, I couldn't tell you about that engine.
You can read the posts here (theres like 3 of them). That 3.0L will fit into your car.
As far as the what you mentioned, well, for starters, probably rig up new motor mounts, you'd have to get the computer(s) maybe new tranny, etc. I mean, heck, anything is possible. My grandpa said he once saw (or heard about, I don't remember) a Neon with a V-8 shoved in it.

You can stick with factory parts and still have a turbo car. My current DD is 91 sundance RS that use to be a 2.5 tbi and now is a 2.5 turbo from a 89 shadow.

Is the turbo locked or the engine? Getting either one rebuilt would be easier than doing a swap of any kind.
