If you keep the eight-plug head, then you'll have to drop some money on an exhaust manifold to allow you to mount the turbocharger. You'll also have to figure out a place to put your Air Charge Temperature sensor in the intake system.
Also, if you keep the lower half of the turbo block, then you'll have either: 1. Mount a crankshaft position sensor, which requires drilling and tapping holes in a specific place. 2. Remove dummy shaft for the oil pump and replace with a distributor, complete with TFI module.
If you keep the current block that your truck came with, then you'll have to take it all apart and swap pistons and connecting rods with the turbo motor. While doing that, you would have to put new rings and bearings in place, as well. Another minor thing to do would be to drill and tap a return line for the oil off of your turbocharger.
There is a way that you can use the turbo motor cylinder head and keep your coil pack system. I'm not too familiar with it, but as long as you have a good heat sink to your DIS module, then it should work fine. You'll have to do the crankshaft position sensor thing like I mentioned earlier for this to work. You also won't need two coil packs, but don't worry; even with eight spark plugs, they didn't fire at the same time anyway. One fires on the compression stroke, and the other fires on the exhaust stroke.
How is that for explaining?
