I just bought a 86 NPR with a slung rod for $500 but it has a new turbo and starter . Didnt think I did too bad. Came with the factory rebuild manuals also. Missed a deal on a running 93 the other day for $1200...
I've also thought about a divorced TC but can't find anyone who can convert the LC TC to a divorced configuration. You could just use a divorced TC but most existing divorced TC's have a centered rear output shaft that would not be compatible with the offset LC dif. I suppose you could purchase the back half of Marlin's Toy box and mate it to the LC TC and get the "divorced" adapter from OTT so you can drive the Toy Box with a drive shaft. This approach is very convoluted and would require addition TC mounts as you could no longer depend on the engine mounts to absorb the torque load as in a married configuration.
