A neighbor installed a 350 Olds with turbo 350 in his TD 14 crawler with blade. Works great. He did what you are considering,left the regular transmission in place. Didn't look it over real close to see if he used a governor or the regular throttle and just be careful not to over rev the engine. Another neighbor uses his W9 for all out pulling. Uses a high performance 460 Ford with C6 automatic. Removed the original transmission and rearend. Uses a two ton military truck rearend. A real puller. I am in the process of installing a 455 Olds with turbo 400 in my WD9. Original engine is shot as the previous owner disassembled it and left it outside uncovered for about 5 years.
I did something like this about 24 years ago. Installed a 455 Olds with turbo 400 in '59 GMC 2 ton truck. Didn't know how the transmission would stand up as it was just a stock transmission from a '68 Olds 88 but iy stood up real well. I did install the air conditioner condenser from the car in front of the radiator and run the transmission oil through it. Well satisfied with it. Just a little too high geared in first and reversed for off road use.
