So! After a stressful 4 evenings of fault finding and preparation, she's alive!!!!!
Massive thanks again to my friend @jesse888 for all of his help and advice. Had some trouble with some wiring and fuel pressure regulator and a silly error!
But all was ok in end, uploaded Jesse's basemap that he did for me and it fired up and ran lovely.
Got her up to temperature and dropped the oil out and new filter will be put on.
Oil was a pretty good that came out, a tad grey but the engine assembly lube I used was a graphite colour so I expect it's just that.
No nasty surprises on the magnetic sump bung.
No major leaks either....
No nasty noises so far!
Got a little list of things to do before next start up, oil temp not working for some reason, and my new water temp gauge not working.
Install new oil pressure gauge, and id like to put some thicker oil in.
Used 10w40 for first start.
Few other little niggles but for first start I think things went well.
