B230FK swap into NA 940

Hi there.

I found a B230FK with a ported 531 head, Enem V16 camshaft and OEM head gasket on Loctite 3020 for cheaper than +T'ing my B230FB would cost. Oh, and it made 270whp on a 19T

I want to swap the engine into my 1991 940 GL. The guy who built it was running it on a standalone ECU and that's what I want to do as well.
I'm getting a M90L2 with the engine as well.

There are a couple of things missing on the engine though.
The intake and exhaust manifold as well as the turbo, the alternator.
About the manifolds: Are there any aftermarket high-flow ones? Or will I be better off with making custom ones?
Which turbo (price to value) will be better, the 19T or 15G?
Will the alternator from my FB work on the FK?
What clutch should I get for aroung 300hp? Will the NA clutch with a kevlar disc hold up?
What fuel pump should I get for it? I assume the NA one won't be efficient enough.
Does the M90 bolt right into the Redblock or do I need an adapter?
What driveshaft do I need to connect the M90 with the stock 940 diff?
The injectors on the engine are stock FK ones are they good enough?
What radiator and intercooler will be best for this setup?

Thanks, cheers.
