On Turbobricks.com one of the members has put a B230FT in his 1980 242. Check out Anthony Hydes Turbo World link on the site. Any B230 Block can be easily converted to a front distributor. A B23 engine is good to use because the crankshaft is much stronger than an early B230 crankshaft. The best way I would approach this would be to buy a donor 740T and swap over the complete engine systems. This way you would use all stock parts for the most part. The fuel pump would already be compatible. There used to be a site from a guy out West who put a B230FT in his late model 240 wagon. I don't know the URL though.
