B230 instead of B23F? 200 1983

John probably meant "use the existing dist/fuel stuff from your car". Yes, the other type of dist is the head mounted one from the 700/900 series (not all of them in the US though).

One issue though: Does your '83 have K-jet (mechanical fuel injection, a pump and lots of pipes under the manifold and pipes to injectors in the block) or early L/LH-jet (electronic fuel injection, pump somewhere and a fuel rail and fuel injectors with electrical connections on the manifold) ?

If it has L or LH you can indeed just drop in the longblock and transfer your ancilaries. If you have K-jet you'll find a lack of injector holes in the new head, in which case you'd either need to have a machine shop drill those holes or transfer the wiring, air filter box and plumbing, sensors and ECU over from the donor vehicle.
