Indeed!
Modified the downpipe and checked that how much the fire wall needs modification due engine has moved a bit back. Luckily it needs only very little cutting. Looking goooood.
Getting closer. Just noticed that I have to re-do the passenger side engine mount. With NG900 alternator the old engine mount doesn´t fit. Next intresting situation will be with the NG900 waterpump. Looks like that it will come very close to roll cage. Hopefully there is enough space for coolant hose.
Improved the gearbox breathing with R1/4 thread and a 10mm fast connector.
With new engine mounts and gearbox bracket the engine fits properly into the engine bay. Luckily that few centimeters movement didn´t cause too big changes. Previously I was thinking that I would start it up this week, but maybe next week. Few bits and pieces missing, but loooking gooooooood!
Original power steering pump didn´t fit next to turbo so it got removed. Took the grooving from 9000 waterpump and welded it on top of the NG900 pump and put a 1755mm serpentine belt to run waterpump and alternator.
Put a Mercedes power steering pump into the engine bay. Problem is that I don´t have any wiring diagram for that and I would like to get that adjustable.
All tips are much appreciated!

Thanks! So am I!
Had to cut bonnet a bit more because compressor housing had to be rotated. Also noticed that engine has moved a bit towards the driver side with new engine mounts.
