Read this thread, and browse some of the related topics over at Turbobricks. Basically, you can run low boost (~5PSI) on a stock B23F - stock LH-Jet, ignition, etc...

1)Yes, B23FT pistons can be swapped into a B23F. Ask for Kenny at T-bricks.

2)The oil return line enters the block on a B23FT. The common solution is to add the fitting to the B23F oil pan (carefully - must flow freely or turbo will smoke.)

3)The intake manifolds are identical. There may be some fittings in place on one and not the other, but it is all swappable.

4)Valves can be swapped, but that is a lot of work. You might just swap an entire Turbo head. I picked one up for $30.

5) Nope, sorry.
