simple answer?
"you can't"
not so simple answer, well, you can't if you've got a BOA, if you've got a BOB you can get them in the same set as the heads and top end from burtons last time i heard
you mgith be able to use them but it's a fair old wedge just to find out you can't

the bob was the frog eye'd version
208 brake as oposed to the boa's 195, but the boa used'a single chain whereas the bob used 2 chains and had problems with oil pressure after a certain mileage with the tensioners
besides, the bob is almost impossible to wire up because you can't really get around the pats to work the variable inlets so the boa is a lot freindlier
also, the 90/91 cars had single fuseboxes maknig them easier to wire in, afterwards they went twin and that was a RIGHT pain in the backside

but at least you've got one you can wire up 
if you want someone to build a loom, look out for maddoldbugger, he does do very nice short looms but he is snowed under at the mo, i'm sure there are loads of places who will flog you a loom or do one as an exchange
just make sure you don't get anything near the open heads, even the tinest trace of dust inside can play havock with the internals, otehrwise, changing the tensioner is about all they need before the front end needs to come off to get the timing guide blades renewed
