The 78 rides ok, needs a stiffer shock in the rear to prevent it "leaning" I ran GQ valving in extra long shock body on the rear and GQ front body shock, all from Koni, valved to suit 78, worked really well.
The 1hdfte is non intercooled, but Cooma Diesel Services make one for it, and a dtronic certainly perks them up, no comparison to a 1hzzzzzz
Had no clearance issues with the spring mounts really, I had to space front sway bar down 20mm to run the longer shock in the front, but I ran 36" swampers on 10" rims, and fitted rear bumpstops to the front, and did a 10mm body lift along with castor correction bushes in the rear of the front arms to move the diff forward 14mm, to help with tyre clearance.
The car was great off road, 180 lt fuel standard, good gear ratio's, and could fit everything in.
