To the original question, I believe that parts for the D-Jetronic fuel injection system are available with a little digging and if you take the time to go through the system and make sure all the electrical connections are tight you should be able to make the system run well - at the end of the day conceptually it is a very simple system and in some ways maybe more robust than the later K-Jetronic mechanical injection.
As for the B-engine, I think that the water pump parts are available (see recent article in Vintage Views - all the seals can be sourced from Grainger for under $40 for all). The timing chain and tensioner are available, may be not the guides but you should be able to get used ones and they easily last 200K miles. Just my opinion, but at this point I would advise against compromising the originality of a steel-bumper car by putting in a later engine.
Best,
Gary
