I am wanting to make a Crank Pulley Holding Tool that will fit both by 100 series and 80 Series. Anyone happen to know the center to center distance for the bolt holes of either (particularly the 80 series)?

@flintknapper I just did the timing belt on my 100. I bought a tool off Amazon for about $50 that worked great for the 2UZ. I will measure tomorrow for you.

1FZFE crank pulley = 89mm
You can back it up on a 14mm torque converter bolt too. Managed it myself from underneath the 80(as I tightened it anyway). Breaking it loose might be another story. Just pull the rubber plug and rotate the engine until there’s a 14mm bolt head exposed. Then loosen the crank bolt with the 14mm socket backed up against the oil pan/Bellhousing. Don’t leave that 14mm socket there though and forgot it. Could be catastrophic.
My custom tool covers both the 80 and the 100. I call it the angry pigeon. I will shoot a picture of it if I can locate. I crank it down and the bolts are what takes the abuse. Heed what @nemoblackdog says and improve on my design. Picture to follow.
I'm too embarrassed to show the one I made.
It worked perfectly, but it looks like a blind man with no arms made it as their first welding project.
Did yours rely on the bolts only to take the force of torquing the bolt back on (304 ft. lbs or whatever it is)? I can't imagine that would be a problem really. I don't see 300 ft. lbs shearing off two bolts.

They did with no problem. I torqued with two different wrenches and all has been well for several years.
The torque wrenches I used surprised me with how little effort 304ft/llbs took. That’s leverage for you.
You can always just buy one made...

1FZ-FE Crank Holding Tool
Crank golding tool for the 1fz-fe engine in a Toyota 80 Series Land Cruiserwww.otramm.com
The tool I came up with was crude and simple, used it a couple of times, no issues. Just set it up so the arm of the tool is under the right frame rail, bolt it onto the crank pulley, no issues with the bolts snapping.
But now having seen Otramm's nice tool I'm embarrassed by the crudeness of my shade tree one-off
