Not the answer you want but you'll need to block the oil feed on the turbo side of the head. Also you need 4x4 cam spacers (bits behind cam pulleys) as well as they are thicker than the 2wd 1's (4mm thicker from memory)

Don't give up on 4wd head, its only a bung on the oil feed and piece of piss to get the spacers for behind the cam pulleys
