The plan: Floor shifter for trans and dash mounted lever for 4WD hi/lo.My tunnel didn’t fit but I did the 4 on the tree conversion. Are you going that route or with a normal shifter?

Thank you. It is a learning process.Wow great progress on this endeavor, everything looks clean and is in good shape. When I refreshed my clutch it took forever because I kept running into side projects based on what I found.
Nope. I'm sure that the bottom end could do with an overhaul but that's beyond the scope of this little project so it will have to wait.Did you plastigauge the bearing cap? With the oil pan off I would have taken the opportunity to do both rod and main bearings.
Nope, you can run either side.On the placement of the clutch slave cylinder, I was thinking all along that it needed to move from the driver's side over to the passenger side of the vehicle. However, when I got to studying it, there was going to be an interference issue with the dash mounted hi/lo shift linkage that pivots off of the passenger-side rear motor mount. There is probably a work around, but it just seemed easier to leave the slave on the driver's side. The bellhousing appears to be setup for either. I hope that somebody will tell me if I screwed up and it needs to move over to the passenger side.
The preferred side would be the passenger side away from the heat of the exhaust. But Green Bean is right because the dash mounted transfer case high low shifter is located under the dash the passenger side rear motor mount uses one of the threaded holes. That is used for the clutch slave cylinder as a pivot mount for rods used to transfer case high low. The bell housing and rear motor mount are made to the the clutch cylinder on either side but dash mount transfer case shifter prevents the passenger side from being used.Nope, you can run either side.
Someone much more knowledgeable than me would know... but my guess is that buy the time the Toyota engineers moved the slave to the passenger side, the vacuum actuated 4WD and the dash mounted hi/lo had been eliminated (along with the 3-speed), so again I'm guessing here, but I don't think that there was ever an OEM 4 -speed with dash mounted hi/lo linkage and the clutch slave cylinder on the passenger side.The preferred side would be the passenger side away from the heat of the exhaust.
