IN2 has clarified the mounts are not even close to the same and I've read elsewhere they are not the same...

The rubber part or the actual metal mount? I believe the FJ and HJ mounts (the part welded to the frame) are different.
Although, I must say most people would call me crazy because under the hood is a hopped up 2F rebuilt by a guru, Jim C I just figured this is the right place to post : )
on-road performance does not equate to speed for me... so I guess I meant on-road adequacy : )
I do plan a turbo in the future as I know the 2H is not a great engine out of the box for high speed.
I am running 3.70's and 31" tires... think the 2H will be in a good RPM range for 65 MPH?
"THE" Jim C. : )
Actually, the motor is going in a nice piggie owned by a friend.
It is an easy decision for me to do the swap. My 60 is not my primary trail vehicle so on-road performance is 10X more important than offroad with this rig. I need mileage and alternatives to petrol.. in my mind, daily driving a 10-12MPG rig is not acceptable.
What was your MPG with the stock 2H?
Maybe this is because the motor came out of a right hand drive, into a left hander?
Deja Vu...
I have been thinking about how nice it would be to have a Jim C 2F in my piggie over the last couple of days (many hours reading through the archives), but you are right 10-12 mpg for DD is pretty harsh. I'm very interested to see how you like the swap and your feelings of an on-road comparsion between old and new engines.
H55F, 3.7 gearing might help in that scenerio...
