Hyundai D4BF engine install

So I might have squee'd a little...
More info on the engine: Hyundai makes 4D56 engines under license, though they use their own naming conventions. The one that's most like ours (mechanical injection, non-intercooler) is the D4BF http://www.hyundaiengine.com/auto_diesel/06_d4bh.html.
The engine block castings still say "4D56". The engine block even has "MMC" cast into it. There's a bunch of laser-etched Hyundai part numbers on there too, but the block and head are absolutely Mitsubishi. I'll go over the engine differences in detail later when I have my old engine next to it.
I ordered this one through a local engine importer who brings things in from Korea. Cost was CD$5800. In my defence, rebuilding my exisiting block with genuine parts would have cost about $3500. This engine also comes with a new injection pump ($1200), turbo ($850), alternator ($200), head ($900) and injectors ($450), so really I'm *saving* money. (Note: this justification may not work on all spouses. I recommend practising your presentation.)
More observations and swap process as it happens.
It's a frikkin 4D56. It even says so on the engine block. It says "Hyundai" on a bunch of other parts, but I don't mind.
