Very cool build. Is this going to make it to Rubithon? My old 4BT80 will be running around (NV4500/orion).
Good choice on the mechanical fan and FJ60 radiator. These engines run cool around town, but long hills... the heat builds and builds. Especially if the fuel has been turned up. I've worked on three different 4BT80's, and they all had overheating problems. Mechanical fans and larger radiators fixed them. Hope to see you at there next week (I'll be in the green extra-cab 40... aka FJ46)

You don't have any shortage of projects Ige. Maybe you need to build an extra cab FJ55

I will be driving right by there though. In South Lake Tahoe this weekend and will be driving down Hwy 50 on Wed.
I wish I was there with my rig.

Been traveling and Mudshipping in route so I'm a little behind on the project list.
I did not like the rear crossmember I had. installing the twins stick were too tight and I have the room so I dropped the tranny back down a bit so the engine sits at 5 degrees.
I made a new style crossmember from the stock FJ60 crossmember.

Run it before you screw with it. I bet it'll be fine.

Used a second crossmember for the traction bar.
A little cutting, grinding, plating and welding to make it fit.

Ran the hard fuel lines down the drivers side frame.
From the engine all the way back to the fuel tanks.
The tank selector valve will go back by the tanks.

Changed the oil in the 8274 and mounted it. Time to measure and have driveshaft made, again.
I also have to order a twin stick set up since what I have will not work with the Irion 4:1HD.

Nice build Dan. Sorry you missed Rubithon. The weather was great. Maybe we'll see you at Deer Valley some day.

I just got home and will work in it tonight.
I picked up my twin stick assy from AA and my driveshafts from Driveline of Fresno while traveling this week. I have to leave again in 10 hours so I doubt I will get too much done.

Summit racing has them as well. I understand that it is a standard GM transmission mount.

Driveshafts installed.
The front allows for 4" of compression and 8" of travel without coming apart.
I'm still looking for a larger drain plug.
Rear shaft looks good.

Yeah... that's what I understood as well... but the one I bought (can't remember part number) didn't match the bolt pattern on bottom of adapter. was easy to make a bracket, but frustrating that it wasn't just a "bolt on". it looked just like that. BUT, my NV4500 adapter is/was really old (10 years+), so... who knows. anyway, thanks again.
