Unfortunately, that wouldn't work. The Regina/Bosch difference would be a deal breaker due to incompatibility issues. Also, though the blocks on the turbo vs. non-turbos are very similar, the turbo engine has a lower compression ratio. Even if you could make it work without the turbocharger, it would be a very underpowered engine.

Doing the rear main seal can be a pain, but if there's an indy shop you trust, it might not be as expensive as you think. Worth a phone call, anyway.

Happy Thanksgiving to you as well!
