Planning, planning, planning. There is a free online parts book on the JD web site that you could have looked at first and saved yourself problems.

All kinds of things are designed differently for turbo vs. NA. Pistons shape, exhaust, valves, cooling system, head. I wouldn't try this w/o this information and knowing it would work.

Yes, I agree, one of the first excersises I do when comparing engine arrangements or components for compatability is, the turbo, injectors, pistons, and fuel injector pumps. This is on Cat engines, as this is the experience I have, but sure these few components are critical to a long lasting engine. This was with older mechanical engines, nowadays with electronic injectors, you now need compatible components as well as a dealer flash file to rerate the engine. This very well could be declined by the dealer as it could be at the detriment of the machines drivetrain and or design.
