I am not going to claim to be 100% accurate as I am going off my memory which has proven to be mistaken on occasion.
If my memory is correct the 79-81 carb turbo cars used the stock normally aspirated head but got high temp alloy exhaust valve. I dont think it has the later style EFI turbo heads different combustion chamber.
The carb turbo used the same cam as the normally aspirated engine, it did not get any "turbo" cam.
The exhaust manifold was also the same as the normally aspirated cars.
I was under the impression that later 2.3L heads had a extra bolt that helped the intakes seal better. I was also under the impression people have used both intakes and heads with little problem.

The later intakes don't have an extra bolt...the bolt on the very top left hand side of the lower intake is in a different location (I guess due to the injector). So if you use an earlier head you gotta drill & tap that hole.
