Question Swapping Engine

Ok i bought a 87 N/A of my cousins friend for $600 with 197K miles and as i was told by him he got a rebuit at 120k miles so the motor should have around 78k miles and i blew the motor... so i decided to take out my motor and the way the engine was done (meaning like condition of screws) i wasnt probly every rebuilt... which im pretty happy for it that it lasted 198k... neway my friend has a 87 Turbo II which he blew the coolant seal and is fixing it besides that the compression is good... and he is willing to donate the core too me lol... so i was wondering if i would be able to use my N/A harness and what else do i need to purchase besides, exhaust manifold, intake manifold, turbo, and of course a fmic and im starting a job at a machine shop on tuesday so hopefully get the ehaust housing ported, wastegate, and what else should i get ported i wanna push out big power... and by the way i have a N/A ECU so i need a turbo II one right? This is my first time taking out this motor so ill have pics up for help along the way and im takingout the motor with the tranny
