holy s*** I'm so late to the game .. what an awesome build thread, thanks man! Lots of help for mine too! I may have missed it but what radiator did you end up using?

How's this projec coming along? Great work! Do you remember what driveline angle you were able to achieve with the OM606? I'm referring to the angle you measured front to back on the fuel filter housing .. thanks!

actually, this it the last one .. this is my tcase output flange .. seems to me like i could chose one of the smaller bolt patterns and machine down the disk .. takes up a lot of room as is .. Your thoughts are super welcome, thanks!

Lastly, a question about NP241C transfer cases .. do I have this thing clocked wrong? is the drainplug boss supposed to be parallel to the ground? sticks down quite far eh?

seems like too much space to the firewall?

bit more breathing to the cross member ..

Looks like a nice snug fit to the dipstick but ... .......................................... the output flange is on the cross member.

What is the best course of action here? Accept the 5 degrees? Remove or modify the cross-brace? Or, smoosh the engine further back to clear the oil pan and have the harmonic balancer run more closely to that crossbrace? I do have a couple more inches to spare in the back .. There's a lot...

Ok, I've hit level 10 overwhelm and I need some help .. I've been attempting to get the engine/trans/transfer combo into the hole and managed with lots of cussing and blood sweat and tears, on my non-level driveway, by myself, to get it this far .. I'm running into some geometry issues and was...

yeah that's what I thought too .. which is why the manual stumps me .. some Toyota guru may eventually chime in ;)
