Lets drop 2 cylinders and burn out!

Ok, I searched the forums and cant seem to find a thread about this. So, the 88 LS body I had was a MPFI V6. Ive decided to go to a turbo 4 setup. There is a raggedy 86 Turbocoupe near me I might buy for a parts car. Does anyone have any information on this kind of swap?

I swapped out my 5.0 for a 2.3T a few years ago.  It was pretty easy.  I had the entire parts car and just swapped over the engine, tranny, and all wiring.  Not hard at all.
