1965 FJ40 project

[Ryno5150]

Some progress made. Sections of engine mounts have been rough cut. The plate section that will bolt to the block as well as the adapter that will bolt to the original engine mount frame brackets. As of right now, it looks like the original mount brackets will not have to be cut off. AC compressor should fit, will definitely have to figure out a way to relocate oil filter. Got a bellhousing from Dellow that mates UZ series engines to H series transmissions.

Yes. Hood clearance is good, inner fender clearance is good.
