Well got the converter in the trans and engine bolts started and discovered that the converter was butted up against the flywheel. Checked the engagement and it appears to not go quite as far into the transmission as it did on the 450-43le that I mocked everything up on the ground with. So I've...

Alright so I reinstalled the converter to the engine and did the bolts one at a time while turning the flywheel and this time it's on there straight. I took a little off the face of my adapter too I think it was just slightly too long and was distorting the flex plate when I bolted it down. At...

Oh no worries I appreciate the input. And really what ended up killing me on this iteration of the adapter is that it was a press fit to the crank and pilot bearing hole and then I got too greedy when I was polishing it last night and it ended up just being a slip fit. So that's on me I had it...

He's a real machinist but he just let me use his lathe. I say less than 10 thou because all I cared about was it being within Toyota spec when I measured it. I just zeroed the dial indicator and spun it around and made sure it didn't go above 10 on the other side.

Spent a long time at my friend's machine shop and got a new hub adapter made on the lathe. This one gives me a run out on the converter snout of less than 10 thousands and I think that's probably good enough. Now Its the easy work of just bolting everything together. Once it's in and moving...

Well the motor is now fully supported by the factory mounts. Now it's just as easy as putting the torque converter in and bolting it all up. I'll have to extend the mounts a little so the bolts will clamp on.

With a little reinforcement I'm sure this will be good enough. Wish there was enough room to use a liquid mount but oh well stock mounts will be good enough. Don't mind my terrible weld it's a heavy duty tack I'll make it good when I gusset it.

Well the mount is a bit lower than factory so that's a dilemma.

Did a bit of test fitting today and it's actually not bad. Shouldn't need much to actually go to its home and even the factory frame holes line up with the engine mounts they're just too high for the ones I have. The only clearance issue is the pan and the drag link and some stiffer front...

Yeah it also has the step on the flywheel so I'm gonna have that to support it as well. It should be good as long as I do a good job on the lathe. I'm not that great at precision measuring lol

No it's like a little less than two inches. When I made that adapter I didn't have the final stack height figured out yet so it ended up being too far out of the crank.

Yeah im gonna remake it with my buddies big lathe. Its actually a bit too short for my liking at the moment it only has 3/4 inch engagement to the crank. So I'm gonna go at it again and make it longer and tighter to the hub.

Made some progress today. Pulled the 1fz out of my cruiser and swapped the bell housing into the transmission in the truck. Torque converters are the same as well so that's cool.

It's going in the 80 cruiser whenever I get some time. I've got the flywheel and Bell housing sorted out for it now I just need to put it in.

I ended up getting a hino WO4TC with 300 hours for free and since the qsf needed rebuilt the choice was obvious. But the the injection pump drive was also a dilemma I was going to have to spin it off the aux on the gear train with probably a pulley and belt from a Tdi.
