Might have solved the turbo clearance problem by flipping the manifold so the turbo is now high mounted. However I might now have bonnet clearance issues.
The other issue is the cast iron dump pipe no longer points in the correct place but there seems to be plenty of options here.

In the light of day it looks like I am missing 50mm or so of bonnet clearance won't be able to tell for sure until the motor is installed.

The more I look the less likely its going to fit under the bonnet, might have to go chasing a FG manifold.

food for thought, not sure that it would fit the patrol image though.

I can't think of any good reason at present to keep the TB42, I have spent so much time and money trying to get it to idle and not miss I will be glad to see the flywheel end of it leaving on a trailer.
