Turbo's aside which is only a small part of the difference in ancilliary items you need to specify which model year engine you are thinking about as depending on that things will vary. If its to use as a drop in replacement (basic engine) then the main difference model year to model year is compression ratio, MY99-00 for example the Leggy has a 9.0 to 1 comp engine as opposed to 8.0 to 1 so not a good idea.
