Finished screwing the engine together in the couple of hours i had over the weekend:

That includes making the new alternator bracket, which puts the alternator in roughly the same spot as the RWD alternators, but with the right backspacing for a FWD alternator. Or realistically i could run different alternators as i can space it back and forwards as needed.
Oh and despite being made out of decent thickness plate it still comes in lighter than the stock part.
Also finished off the brake caliper bracketry:

Mmmm 300mm brakes.
Oh and replaced all the fuel filters because of this:

That was the pre-lift pump filter from the tank. Its completely warped and soft, which i think is from the E85. This is despite several people saying that they were able to run them just fine for months on E85. I call BS.
Using the same AE92 high pressure filter, but using an AU Falcon pre-lift pump filter as its roughly the right size and all metal. Hopefully its not too much of an obstruction.
10 days until tuning now. Need to get the engine back in, and the brakes and gauges setup. Too easy.
