Auto Tranny swap non-turbo/turbo '89 9kS

Hello all,
My '89 9kS is hurting and I am working out whether it's worthwhile to do the work or give it a decent buriel.
So, the front crank seal is leaking oil, the head gasket is leaking, but not burning, oil, but not coolant, and the auto box makes a distinctive "clunk" and jolt when engaging reverse, which, I am told by the Erikkson and Andrews folks, is not repairable without a rebuild or replace.
That said, the body and interior are in good shape and the suspension and brakes are great.
So, my buddy, nt, says, "let's pull the engine, do all the seals and find a used tranny. I'll help. I have an engine stand and short term access to a lift"
Questions:
1. Can I reasonably expect to find a good tranny for $300-500?
2. What years are compatable?
3. Can I use a turbo tranny on a normally aspirated engine?
4. Am I nuts?
I just bought a beautiful '92 9kT which is making me want to just dump the '88 900S 3-door (also leaking oil and slowly rotting from the underside up) and the 9kS (above), but my wife needs a 4 door and has gotten used to Saab quality ride, comfort and safety. ... And it has to be an auto.
I've only got maybe $1000 tops to spend.
Thoughts anyone?
ETS
