Makes me wonder if they're built for RHD trucks as the Dirty Dingo mounts are.
This guy built his own mounts 7 years ago to shift the engine over 3/4" to the passenger side.

The stock oil pressure and water temp sensors are connected to the ECU.
A toyota oil pressure sensor with a thread adapter will drive the oil pressure gauge. Same deal with water temp, though my memory's a little foggy there...
Perfect pointer, thanks!
"The toyo high pressure fuel fitting is M14 x 1.5 INVERTED FLARE connection."

This should do it: SUM-220628B
Whoops, I intended to specify that. I edited the post. It's on the driver's side inner fender under the brake master cylinder. A rubber line goes from here to the banjo on the fuel filter.
What’s the thread and size specification of the hard fuel line to rubber line fitting on the stock 80? This one:

(edited) AC question here. Is there a reason that the AC receiver canister needs to sit alongside the condenser, hanging there behind the front bumper? It's the lowest point in the system, so I assume it needs to be.
If not, as long as I'm relocating AC lines to clear the LS passenger side head...
Thanks for this advice guys. I just ordered my adapter from Marks yesterday, and DHL says it'll be here four days from now. Saved a couple hundred bucks vs. AA.
Thanks @Squad1. I've been lurking here for a while. I talked to @bloc about stopping by to take a look at his truck a few months ago but never got around to it.
Quick question for the collective. Beno, I hope you don't mind that this is non-technical, but it's on topic.
Let's say I were to take stock '97 LC, interior and exterior in great condition, and swap in a known good 5.3 LS and a freshly rebuilt 4L80e. If I had $15k in it at that point, could I...
