I'm willing to bet no-one has one lying around. Here's what I'd do.
Take NA B230 from early 940. Fit 240/360 aux shaft and dizzy if you want to be 'authentic'. Fit 360 oil pump, sump and water pump so it fits a 360.
Fit hotter (probably aftermarket, to be fair) cam.
Fit Weber/Dellorto/Solex 45s.
Fit exhaust
That should do it.
Otherwise...B200/230 turbo will do it very, very easily, but it's more work to fit. A B234 (2.3 16v) will also do it fairly easily (especially with carbs), but I think you might find that more of a ballache to fit. The only one I've seen fitted had various other work done, such as a remote master cylinder setup. Not sure if that was for performance or necessity...
cheers

I spy with my little eye...
1) A B204FT/GT inlet manifold
2) A turbo casually placed on top of an non-turbo exhaust manifold

actually, it is a original B204GT. its the project car of a v3c member, not too many updates recently unfortunatly but it;s a well build car, he's still fabricating it actually.
and zoom the last pic foggy! it's a custom made exhaust manifold and you can see that on zoom

So it is! It's so neatly built, I thought it was an N/A manifold...
