2.5L crank difference? Turbo vs. NA

Hey, first time on the board, got a question.

I'm rebuilding a 90 Shelby Daytona, 2.5L Auto. I picked it up for 300 bucks when i was in high school but due to other projects I never got it on the road, but now it's time for the little bro to get his license and I want him to have something that moves (much to the dismay of mom and pop ). It's always had a bad rod knock and I'm inthe process of the rebuild now, and the #3 rod trashed the crank pretty bad, but I have a 2.5 crank from a NA 90 Caravan, and I was wondering if I'd be able to use it? I know they're both cast cranks, I just didn't know if there is any difference between the castings for the Turbo and NA? Thanks in advance!

They are the same crank.
'89-95 2.5Ls, turbo or not, all use the same crank because they are of the common block design.

As far as I know the 2.5 T1 used the TII rods, the NA I cannibalized for my crank had some whimpy looking ones in comparison to the TII rods, I highly doubt they'd hold up well under much boost.
