<VV> 'Frankenstien' motor ideas

Someone posted a picture on Facebook a few days ago of
a weird motor combination he'd cobbled together.
He took an early turbo engine, took the turbo off and
put two carbs on it like a 110.
He said he liked it a lot because it had the heavy-duty
internals of the turbo, and low compression ratio (8.0
I think) so he could run regular gas in it.
He didn't say how many HP's he thought I would make, but
said he expected it would probably 'run forever'.
Has me wondering about other cobbled-together parts-and-
pieces motor ideas.
What would you get if you took a turbo engine and put 140
heads on it? Is there any actual difference in the pistons
between a turbo and 140?
What kind of compression ratio would that yield?
