OK assistance on swapping motor

how difficult is it and what should i be aware of or look out for...im wanting to replace my 1988's stock 13b Non-turbo engine & 5pd transmission, for a 1988 Turbo2 enigine.
Can i just buy a transmission upgrade kit for my current tranny or do i need a Turbo2 transmission? any input would be much appreciated.

I'm certain you can still use the NA tranny/Driveline, other wise if you change to the turbo transmission you will need the Turbo tranny to NA Diff driveshaft from mazdatrix, or you would have to do the FULL turbo 2 drive train, witch would include tranny/Diff/Driveshaft/Axles.

If you keep all the N/A parts from the engine back,you would need to take your old Flywheel off and use the TII flywheel.

This Swap is done at least 3 times a week around here (Forum) so there is Plenty of info already posted on this commonly asked swap..(ya just wanna sit down and read through it..)
