Lots of threads on these swaps. Do a search and you will most likely find it.

Hey mate you cannot run the 3litre zd30 turbo on a 4.2 diesel motor as the 3litre turbo's are a variable vein turbo and run off your ecu, better off using the genuine turbo or something similar.

itll cost around 15G drive in drive out for a good condition td42T fitted and the zd30 thrown out. the box bolts up from memory.

i believe the box behind the ZD30 is exactly the same. other than a spacer on the bellhousing to make room for the duel mass flywheel,
with the 30mm spacer removed the box should bolt up no dramas,
