Hi Hiro,
sorry, but I don´t think so. Remember, the 400 engines were build in 1978. Irmscher used the crank of the homologation cars. These dohc engines had produced only poor 144PS. The I 240 was produced in very early 80´th. The first C24NE came out in ´88 (Í dont want to swear this)first time. So the crank of the C24E was not yet available in that time. The only other crank with a 85mm stroke was from the 2,3diesel. I think, the cam was a standard 2,0E (same item #) The fast road cam was used in the I200 (2,0E with 125 PS output).
Hiro, the 10.000€ are the price for those parts now, at that time, a complete 400 engine was priced by 8500.-DM, means 4250.-€. O tempora, o mores.

By the way, are your roller rockers running now?

regards Jörg
