And the fact that the NA engine is 6 port, the TII engine is 4 port. So the manifolds won't match up and you will need to do some work to make it all fit.

^ True, but I think he means using all the components off the TII while removing the turbo components, either way, its doable. Is it worth it? 95% of the time, no.....

Short answer is yes. Question though, why are you thinking about doing this?
