I was wondering if i just swap out the blocks if it would make the turbo swap easier since i have a 92 my head has 8 spark plugs which i dont see a problem with and the turbo block should have the turbo oil line holes i need. but would it make things easier with the computer and stuff?

The Dual plug head does not have the hardened valves and is not the right compression ratio for a turbo. Also the MAF system that is stock in the 92 is not set up to supply the extra fuel needed for the turbo. If you want to do the swap right, and make the car last, you need to swap in the complete engine, computer, and wiring from a turbo car.
