Hello fellow Hi-Lux owners.
I am new to the scene and have "shot myself in the foot" in regards to my recent purchase.
Need some advice(a lot) and help in regards to several issues I am currently having trying to get my car on the road.
The bloke that I bought her from has put a VN 3.8 in the engine bay and from what I can see did most of the conversion properly. problem is i'm guessing at about the 98% mark he has gotten frustrated and done some stuff that is a bit of a dogs breakfast.
Largest problem I am having is the clearance between the exhaust and the slave cylinder is about 5-10 mm (not enough) to make it fit it appears he has taken a "sipro saw" to the bleed point...
First question(not the last) is has anyone done this conversion before or come accross this problem before and what did you/they do to fix it?
I am thinking I could mount some extractors to the 3.8 and re-do the exhaust back from that??(exhaust needs doing anyway...
I can post pics if necessary but more interested if someone has done this conversion before :)
Thank you in advance

Too late unfortunately...
Engine was in when I got her, trying to go for engineering Cert now...
I'm thinking an extractor system from the VN years will lower the "Out" for the exhausts enough that ill be able to create the clearance with a custom exhaust.
Headaches headaches headaches.
I think i'll start a build page for anyone else stupid enough to attempt it.
Considering I am new to the forum where would I do that?
Ps cheers for the reply enjoying my first experience on a forum :)
