Default Can a 1983 b21ft turbo bolt up to a 1984 b230f non turbo?

I have a 84 b230f non turbo, I also just got a wagon with the b21ft with a turbo original setup, the b21 needs a new rod but I was wondering if I can just bolt the turbo up to my b230, the b21 is mechanical fuel injected (kjet) where as the b230f is electronically fuel injected, I was planning on swapping the b2ft into my sedan that has a b230f

Certainly the manifold will bolt up - but the turbo block has a hole in the side of it for the turbo oil return drain tube - if your block has a cap/freeze plug in that predrilled hole - now you have somewhere for the oil in the turbo to go.

Find a 740/940 turbo in a junkyard and examine how it is done with EFI.
