Turbo = No. T3 turbos had the normal square flange and different specs.
I'd go for a SOHC, way more practical. If a head goes, you can go to Cophers and get 18 of them tomorrow, not search the net for 2 years to find one for $500 bare. True, DOHCs make much more power per psi than SOHCs, but you can make up for that with more psi. Look at Donovan. I dont think any of us will be at that level. You dont even NEED a "T2", just intercool a 2.5 T1 common block.
So what do you have in the garage in need of an engine??

well i dont actually have a car needing an engine but im only going to go 4 cyl if i find something i actually want to spend time on, otherwise ill throw a 340 in a daytona or something like that. I actually found a turbo3 in a 92 daytona iroc r/t but guess what? It needs a head. So either i give up now or search for a head, the thing is everythings good on the car but the head and they only want 300$ for the whole thing minus the sound system which i could care less for.

Its possible to get TII Turbo Dodges for cheap too. Last summer I saw a Shelby Daytona at a local used car dealership with a TII and 5spd for $900 and this car was in good shape and ran well. I would have bought it but they wanted cash, and I didn't have the 900 they wanted.
I know the TIII has the most stock hp, but I wouldn't advise buying this car unless you plan on selling the TIII specific parts to make money, otherwise you might spend a lot of time searching for a head. Does the owner know how bad the head is? I assume it is cracked, can it be repaired still? I wouldn't want to suggest you buy this car unless you can have the head repaired, or unless you are prepared to go on a wild goose hunt.

The link above will give you some good info on the car itself. Me personally knowing what I know I would buy it drop a T2 in it and fix the original engine just to have that numbers matching collectibility thing going on.
