Head and turbo adding questions

Is the is the 3sGTE head a direct swap onto the 5Sfe block?

I have heard conflicting reports on this.

I am currently thinking of doing a turbo upgrade on my 90 GTS and I want to keep it low budget.

I plan to use a 3sgte computer and re pin my harness,so I can convert to MAF .
Also,I am concerned about the more agressive timing tables of the N/A 5Sfe.

Here is the plan so far:
-Upgrade fuel pump
-repin to use the turbo computer and mass air.
-drop a complete 3sgte head on my shortblock,intake,injectors,FPR,exhaust manifold,etc.
-put the small IHI(off Probe turbo) I alredy have on
-will probabaly use the spare TurboCoupe IC I have

Only plan to run 9 psi max as this will be a daily driver.

If the head will not fit,will the intake off of the 3cgte bolt directly to my current head?
If not, can I swap the injectors and fuel rail to my current intake plenum?
Actualy I was thinking the Intake I have would make running a FMIC easier.

One more parting Question: Will the 3sgte bolt directly to my current tranny?
Have been told it will not,but thought I would check. I would much rather have a complete engine that was designed to take boost,than to start modding a N/A engine.

I am no stranger to boosted engines,but I am used to the Ford 2300 Lima. You can run 20# on stock internals all day everyday without breaking anything,unless you drop a stick of dynomite through the intake.

nothing but the exhaust manifold gasket is the same between the 5sfe and the 3sge, you are better off getting an entire 3sgte motor and your gonna need the engine wiring, sensors and ecu, and I am pretty sure the motor will bolt up to the trans, but if your gonna make some big power, get ready to swap that too, and the starter will be in a different place so get that too

The 3sgte will bolt up to my current transaxle then?
That is good.
I would much rather start with a powerplant that was designed to take boost.

If it will not bolt up, will the inlectors,fuel rail,and FPR fit onto my 5sfe plenum?
