I'm in the middle of setting up the motor/tranny mounts in the frame before powder coat. I've looked for some pictures of similar setups that might be helpful. FWIW, tranny is a 4L60e. TIA, Tony

I'm gonna go find my donor vehicle today and measure the 4l60e that's in it I guess. It's in a '95 Camaro....do you guys think that'll be old or new (4 bolt or 6 bolt)?

My '79 had a TH350 mounted in it behind an old carb'd 350 engine. The new plans call for an LT-1 with a 4l60e. My question: How much longer is the 4l60e than the TH350? I was hoping to leave the mounts already welded to the frame in place. Do any of you guys have enough experience with...

Bueller? Bueller?

I'm taking the tub and body panels to the body shop next week. Going with the original smerf blue....the newly powdercoated frame awaits. Buuuuut, I need front fenders. I've read the horror stories about the aftermarket (CCOT) fenders. Has anyone tried the the new Heritage stuff yet?

Military or Contractor? I take it you're probably military and going to be based in Alaska. I'm in Texas, new to the cruiser world, too. Go to the Texas forums on this board and they'll be able to help you with cruiser shops/parts, etc. I'm north of Austin several hours, but if you need help...

You guys are great. I just didn't like the idea of a cast plate....especially welded. Mark, I'll probably give you a call today and get that plate coming. I'll have some more questions for you, too. Thanks for chiming in! Fast Eddy, As for this being safe to drive for the wife and kids...

I've looked in the FAQ, I've read hours and hours on this site and it's come down to asking some direct questions of my all-knowing friends here on the site. I'm in the middle of restoring my '79 (jan) FJ40. It will be a V8 conversion (LT-1), driven mainly on the street, and needs to be safe...

Did you have to have the extension like it says for something comparable to a jeep?

This is on a 40. Chose not to call the manufacturers, you guys here seem to have more of a grasp than most of them. lol

Will the GM block hugger headers available from man-a-fre fit a '94 LT-1? I've heard there is an overlap issue but not serious. I'm new to both Chevy and Landcruiser but bound and determined to make it work. lol Next question, my cruiser (1/79) came already equipped with a carb'd 350 and a...

Thanks! I like those shifters.

Does anyone have a picture of a Lokar installed in a 40?

I think I'm going to try the marine gel coat on that when I get around to it. What has been your best experience with the top?
