NA engine+turbo swap

i just blew up the engine in my girlfriends 96 HPT 9k. spun 2 main bearings and 1 rod. engine is toast at this point.
seeing as neither of us have any money, and i have a 94 9k NA engine on the shop floor, i would like to bolt the turbo components to it, set the car up as an LPT, for 5- Psi, and run it.
i figure with the high comp. pistons with the turbo it should be pretty peppy.
i know people do this stuff all the time with c900s, but this is the first time in a 9k to my knowledge.
i assume it would need 91-93 oct to avoid blowing itself up.
i can say it will most definatly be getting a full set of bearings and seals, with a fresh headgasket. since im tearing down the block anyway would it be a better choice to swap the turbo pistons into the NA block.
