RE: 5ktq engine into 90' 100q?

["Dupree, Jim" <dupree@alldata.com>]

It would seem to me to be a relatively simple swap (as swaps go) but you
would need the complete Fuel and ignition system from the 87,. Ideally the
complete car until you finished the swap then you would have the little odds
and ends you discover late in to the project.
But I may be missing something here not having done one. 
But on that note my 5k turbo engine, for my swap into my 4kq, showed up
yesterday but I won't get out to the shop to see it until next week
probably.

		I have a 90' 100q non turbo that I like quite abit, but i do
miss the 
		performance of my previous turbo's ( both were 5ktq's).
I've talked to some 
		other listers out there, and done some research on my own,
and it would 
		appear that there is not a whole lot I can do to this
powerplant (10v) to 
		breathe fire into it.  I have located a few chip
applications, but the hp/$ 
		tradeoff doesn't seem to be worth it, nor would a free-flow
exhaust set-up. I 
		also don't care to start grasping at straws by having the
fly-wheel machine 
		lightened, etc.  I do however, have at my disposal, a 1987
5ktq engine that 
		is in very good condition, minus the tranny. My question to
you is, is this 
		engine swap possible w/ the turbo plumbing et al?  I'm
assuming the mounts 
		are the same due the seemingly identical appearence of the
engine bay ( yes, 
		I know how foolish it is to assume anything). Also, will my
current tranny 
		mate up with the 5k engine w/no problems. What about
electrical? I'm sure 
		there are questions I'm forgetting to ask, so feel free to
expand, or to 
		point out why this is a terrible idea!   I will certainly
appreciate any, and 
		all responses. thanx
