Got the adapter plate installed on the engine, all bolts torqued to spec with thread lock. Installed the flywheel, clutch and pressure plate.

Nothing worse than a land cruiser in the shop waiting for parts... fingers are crossed that the new adapter plate aligns everything perfect for you and she runs and drives better than ever! Nice work, as usual!Got the adapter plate installed on the engine, all bolts torqued to spec with thread lock. Installed the flywheel, clutch and pressure plate.

But oh, the relief once you wake up and realize it was just a dream!!A little more progress this evening, installed the starter, both driveshafts, the clutch slave cylinder and hooked up some wiring and the speedometer cable. A few things yet to put together but it should be running and driving within the next few days.
I did have a dream the other night that I had gotten everything reassembled and gone for a test drive, but had forgotten to put any oil in the transmission or transfer case. Not a great feeling, until I woke up!
Is it an upgrade in terms of volume?Honing was a no-go, would require too much material removal to get rid of the pitting. New 80-series master cylinder and brake booster are on the way. Once those arrive I will be able to make a plan for rerouting the brake lines to get everything hooked back up.
Not sure if the master cylinder volume is larger, but the booster is a dual diaphragm rather than single and apparently provides better stopping power and improved pedal feel.Is it an upgrade in terms of volume?
