Turbo Swap!

I was looking at buying an 87 RX7 N/A to do a turbo swap and was wondering if the motor would drop right in or would it be a more difficult process?
My cousin says I might have to redo the rear end, transmission and/or buy custom tie rods to handle the power. Would I be better off buying a TII!

If you want a turbo 2nd gen, buy a TII unless you can get an extremely good deal on an awesome NA chassis and are willing to do the work.
