Ok the V8 extention housing is longer than the 6cyl one so the crossmember is too far back to pick up the rearmost holes in the body...
If you bolt up one side and the centre mount it puts it out this far on t'other side. 
All you need to do is elongate this square hole rearwards. 
This is the minimum amount you need to remove. 
And neatly bolted up afterwards. 
Looks like the tailshaft is going to be a smidge too long but I'm going to lob the nine inch I kept from ute in there so no matter. Here's the original 4.0 trans lines. They bolt straight up... will repost whether they need massaging when the exhaust is in.

Here's the bracket I made to replace the EGR spacer. It's 3mm stainless but 2mm would have done and it could have been mostly bent rather than needing to be cut and welded.
In position on intake. 
With the throttle cable bracket in place. 
From underneath...

These ally rocker covers I got are nicley cast but they're really made to suit a U.S. engine with a right hand facing t-body. On an Aussie 5.0 the filler neck hits the plenum and the front of the rocker cover hits the alternator.
So I removed the filler neck and elongated the hole to allow me to weld it in on an angle for the clearance needed. I also blasted them to get rid of the shiny finish that i don't like. You can't see it but I dented the front of the rocker cover in slightly to clear the alternator. 
There all better. 
Not much clearance between alternator and battery. 
Charcoal canister will have to go outside.

Good stuff Pete!
I assume when its all together she'll be left at that, not going to go further with the motor? And have you found a donor for the V10 yet?

Here's the ends of the 4.0L and 5.0L throttle cables.
The end clips look slightly different but actually fit straight into the original pedal as normal.
