Please keep me updated on this project as this is project that i'm looking at doing after my 4.6 reaches 200k. If there is a will there is a way. As far as customs are concerned I researched exactly what you are looking to do and found out that a one-time exemption can be used to get an import into the states.
As far as getting parts from the UK from what I've seen while getting a parts list together to rebuild my 100k 4.6 parts are cheaper and make up for the shipping costs. Not sure about TD5 parts though. But I can see though if you have a glow-plug(?) go out you'd be SOL fer 2-3 weeks.
KEEP ME POSTED!!!!
Good luck on that..only on something that's legal to bring in the first place. A TD5 is not, plain and simple. If you do get it in legally, please post a copy of the 3520-1 form as I'd like to see how you classified it...guy's get them in, but's it's very grey
