dropping a 280zxt eng, into non-turbo car???

I really need help on this 280zx turbo engine, its ready to drop in a non-turbo 280zx, but i was wondering is there and differences between the non-turbo and turbo engine (ex: tranny,eng mounts,fuel lines,)basically my question is ..Is there anything that i have to change out (Other than the exaust down pipe i kno thats different.) Then can i just drop it in and go?? :burnout:

You already got the whole turbo engine, so basically you can drop it in. You'll have to lay the turbo injector wiring harness in there. The engine mounts are the same. You can use the non-turbo tranny if you want. It can't take as much power as the turbo's T5 transmission.
