Anything is possible but it's a question of degree of effort and if it's
worth the bother. I just bought a nice 86 505 Turbo for $1800. I'd guess
you'd put $1000 of money or at least effort into that conversion, probably
more. I'd suggest looking for a nice 505 Turbo and sell what you have now.
I bet you can find a darn good one with a blown automatic for less than
$1000 and spend the conversion effort on installing a BA10/5 five speed
and have a snappy solid car for $1500.
