You're talking about FTG who are site sponsors.
I think one of the biggest issues will be electrical (ECU, Looms, etc). Its not impossible, but its not a simple drop in. Its easier and cheaper to bolt a turbo to the AU engine.

BA XR6Ts can be had for nothing. Best bang for buck buy on the market. As an indication I went to trade my XR6T yesterday and they offered me $12,000. Unless you really love your AU I'd just buy a BA.

pm me if you decide to turbo your SOHC motor. I've got a near new Stage 3 snort kit in the shed that I'll let go cheap.
