The donar vehicle set up ,the pluming comes through were my battery sits , i was thinking of cutting the inner guard , but thought to ask here first.

Are you fitting it to a 100 or an 80? If a 100, go to lcool classifieds, and ask Paul Aadvark, as he put a turbo with intercooler on his 100.
If u r putting it on an 80, u will have to loose the battery or run the return to the motor a different way, as in through the inner guard.

Might be easier to use a smaller aux battery and cut the battery cradle down, or run it in the rear of your cruiser if u have storage compartment there behind wheel arch pass side.
Are you transplanting whole motor? If not, you will need a 3/8 BSP plug for oil return hole in sump on old, and drill new in new.
