Should bolt right up...just be sure to reuse your old motor mounts...

the engine will bolt in fine since it's just a regular 3.1.. you will have problems with the turbo crossover. it will have to be modified to move it foreward of the transmition mount a little.

make sure you get the wiring harness and ECM from the turbo car. there is a patch for the TGP bimary file to change it to a manual trans.

You will also need a clutch that will hold up to 200+ HP, check out the stage 3 group buy on V6Z24: http://www.v6z24.com/jbodyforum/viewtopic.php?t=79406
