Our 4x4 F150 has a 8.2 litre V8 Detroit diesel with the turbo in the middle of the V it has a 4" exhaust in about the same configuration with no problems:cool:
The exhaust is stainless with some exhaust blanket some heat shields and wrap
I dont think there will be a problem but thats what the 32000 BTU AC is for:D

This thread is pornography AM. I know you posted it in an other thread but I can't find it - what engine and gearbox are you running?
Did you start with a td5? Will you be able keep the ABS/TC or will the ECU freak out without the engine?
The starting point was a 96- 300 tdi Defender Now 4he1t MXA 5R gearbox Lt230 tc withQuote:

Can you post some more pics of the MXA-5 speed to LT230 fitment? Particularly the RH side where the LT230 drive snout heads on past the gearbox.
Dougal The TC is rotated slightly clockwise to keep the engine high for sump clearance but not the TC outputs .If the exhaust is shrouding what you wanted to see I can drop it off . Hope these help
That's great, thanks. You've got more clearance between the gearbox and LT230 than I have. Which is great to see. I thought your MXA might have been fatter than my MSA.Quote:

What is the length from the gearbox/bellhousing interface (front of the gearbox case) to the mount face on the LT230?
Adaptor housing 175 mm GB 350 mm Clutch housing 112 mm Total 637 from the engine to the face the LT230 bolts to Just had a Quick TC look if you were really GunghoQuote:

Bit of an update. Fired up the engine for the first time over the weekend :D Typical Isuzu no glow plugs and starts like a fight .No strange noises and 60 lb oil pressure. Fairly quiet with a nice bark when you blip the
throttle.Have put to bed the idea these engines won`t run with out an ECU.A couple off stuff ups configured the
start run solenoid to pull to start when the lever is spring loaded to the start position and the heater mods were not a success bloody plastic:mad: so have ordered a new copper core.Have rehashed the solenoid so the
run lever is in the stop position and the solenoid pulls to the run position as didn`t want an edic . The pic of the vertical solenoid the right way
