LD20T out of a vanete [van or truck chasis]

aprox 1980/84

van has rubber hose direct fitted to the turbo for air cleaner.
bluebird/cedric has a steel pipe fitted.

heater water outlet for van at the front LH .
a second steel pipe was fitted to the gear box and intake manifold to bring the cold pipe to the front,bluebird has a different water pump inlet adaptor with a large banjo bolt conection. american LD28 parts should be good for any repairs you need.

thermostat outlet is of a late LD20II.basically the same as any gasolene engine l series engine.
the original diesel might have had an extra hose for a remote radiator surge tank or rad cap.

look a few inches from the serial number--LD20 will be stamped on a second raised pad.
