Buick 3.8 Turbo F-Body swap

I have an 89 TTA and an 81 TTA so I'm basically familiar with the turbo engines but does anyone know where I could get some information on swapping in a 3.8 intercooled Turbo into a second generation F-Body?
I know there is air and custom exhaust work needed on a third gen but how hard is it to do it to a second gen car?
I'm thinking I'm going to upgrade my 81 TTA to an 86, 87 GN drivetrain

if you can fit a big block in there no problem why wouldn't a dinky v6 have problems?
