My read somewhere (on Turbobricks, I think) that the rods and crank underwent an extra hardening process for the FT, but I don't know for sure if there was really anything to this. As long as the FT pistons have the same wrist pin diameter, and I'm pretty sure they do, I'd go for it. One significant complication will be the turbo oil return line. However with everything apart, it's feasible to take both blocks to a machine shop & have them bore out the casting blank in the F block to match the return line hole in the FT. Otherwise it should be pretty straightforward.
