Depending on price, i'd buy it, then put the complete Injection and Turbo set up off the VL on it, as long as you get the 4WD cheap, it will work out cheaper than a 4.2, and the extra advantage is there will be more power than a 4.2, with around the same Economy
People are right though, and off boost Tourque is not great, BUT a set of 43% Transfer reduction will fix any of those issues, even running 37's.
About the only differance is the Turbo\NA Head has differant Cam, some say the NA is better in a Boosted 4WD as the Tourqe comes on sooner.

The carby can then be moved to one side without having to disconnect anything else. Be careful when you lift the carby and try not to damage the base gaskets.
The bit you need to modify is the heating element in the spacer directly under the carby. Disconnect the wires going to the heating element and carefully remove the spacer. This is what it looks like when you first remove it.
Carefully drill out the pins surrounding the honeycomb element, and push out the element. The can looking thing on the other side just pushes out.
And what you're left with should look like this...
Installation is the reverse of removal.
