Good luck. It's probably doable, but it will be quite a bit of work and I think the computer needs to be reprogrammed also. You will probably have a hard time finding somebody to do it.

Find a wrecked 850 turbo or Non turbo stick car and buy it.
Then swap everything over.

5-speed in an 850-R

Here you go, a serious answer for a serious car. Please publish step-by-step photos...

Learn the differences between M56, M56H, M56L, M66 (and any others that I may omit). Determine which ones have LSD.
