I am in need of the alternator bracket, A/C, and power steering brackets. Need to confirm wether the NA and Turbo will interchange. Any parts out there? Found an NA motor in another state but can't confirm an interchange.
Thanks

Here are pics of the bracket on my 83 turbo engine and a NA 3.8 engine (87 I think).

I would think the power steering brackets on the driver's side would interchange between turbo and NA.

The passenger side brackets have provisions for AIR pumps.
 
Went through this years ago. Turbo and NA are different. If you are converting an NA to Turbo you will need to find a turbo alternator bracket.
