Shouldn't be anything too serious. Obviously you'll need it engineered but there are kits around that can't be too hard to find which will simplify the engineering process.
Not sure about tail shaft or fitting the four speed into the trans tunnel but it should all be relatively easy. Good luck!

speak to luvtheuc about putting in the 5L into the uc, he put one into a UC hatch, as far as i know its relatively straight forward with no major hidden expenses. Have no idea about the t700 but rumour has it they need the tunnel modifying. You know the drill about the diff, get it shortened and uc brackets welded on

I for one would love to hear how you go (i'm secretly building a 308 that has been stroked and bored for my UC)...
Keep us posted with it hey!

Unless UC's trans tunnels are smaller then LH-LX then there is no need for modification to fit the TH700 
will need a crossmember to suit, there availiable off the shelf tho and if the heater box is the same as LH-LX then will need to mod either the heater box or your fuel rail for clearance.... only other thing is need extractors to suit and a return fuel line + surge tank. otherwise is pretty straight forward
