If they were both behind 2.3's then yes they'll interchange.

I'm not wure what you're talking about "r-4" and "basic 3" The important info is on the metal tag attached to a bolt on the side of the trans. It should have a number like "1352-xxx"

if i were to put the head and turbo off of the 2.3 onto a 2.3 non turbo motor would it perform any better/ or make it worse?

I wish it were that simple. I'd have been done long ago.

This gets covered pretty frequently here. The details are floating around here or over on TurboFord.
