If I were your freind I would try to off the B234 on someone who needs one (I'm sure there are many, the engine is a boat anchor!) and find a good second hand B20. To correctly mount the ohc engine will cost as much as a basic rings bearings and valve job overhaul and will likely never be quite right. If he insists on using a later engine look for a B21, B23, or B230 non interference engine.
I recently checked out a 122 wagon with a B320FT in it, turbo and all. The reason he had me come over was to help him make up a list of things needed to undo the hack job so he would have a reliable car again.

Please talk him out of it.
