Welcome aboard thirdgen.org.
Are you getting the entire '89 car, or at least everything off of it you might need?

First read the sticky about V6 to V8 swap in the top section of this forum.
Get everything that is on or goes to the engine. Being a turbo, it's hard to say what may have been done to the car, and what you need to get off of it or what has been taken off of it as part of the turbo install.
