Would be as simple as that, but that motor is a high compression motor
(10:1) so unless you can get (and afford) 100 octane gas on a regular basis,
it's best to leave it alone. I've done what you are talking about, but on an
earlier lower compression motor. You would need to swap a different bottom
end, or whole motor in to have a decent "turbo friendly" compression ratio.
