I'll let Chris explain
 
Couple of comments from the peanut gallery:
  • In a 40 you can run a 3FE with fan clutch on the stock mounts with plenty of room.
  • You will have to relocate the compressor if you want to run AC, no way that mount will work :(
  • The 62 and 80 mounts are different, the latter will require reconfiguring the frame side.
  • Toyota rotates their engine on the vertical, they do not angle it on the horizontal.
  • I have no vibration issues with a H55 & split case starting at the stock bellhousing location, no DC and pinion not rotated (4" lift springs)
Hope that helps some of you ;)

Does your third bullet (I tried to BOLD it) mean that the 3FE mounts that bolt to the block for FJ-62 should play nice with the factory frame mounts in our Pigs?
 
I hear you, couple of issues I ran into swapping in the H55 ...
  • You need the early (3-piece) 60 cross member if you are using the stock bellhousing. The later one piece accounts for the "3F" bellhousing rotation and wont work (I found this out the hard way, since the tranny mount is also cross-member specific).
  • If you use the stock bellhousing, you have to grind the dog ear off the PS original mount to bolt up the clutch slave. You also need to remove at least the PS side transmission frame mount, I removed both for exhaust considerations.
  • You need the later (H42 w/ spacer) x-fer case shifter linkage.

I am sure if I were staring at this, it would make more sense, but right now it does not. If you use the stock bellhousing that ties to the rear frame mounts, wouldn't you keep using the same clutch slave? Why is grinding required?

Thanks again, I am sure the answer is self-evident, just not making sense to me at the moment...
 
I used one 2F and one 3F motor mount ;). The H55 and split case is too long to use the bellhousing tranny mounts, at least in my case with soft diesel motor mounts. My whole driveline moved like a pendulum, bashing my oil filter housing into the firewall :-(. I switched to a 60 cross member -

i mean as compliment;)

Sorry, still too dense to grasp this. Couldn't you keep the mounts on the bellhousing and add the crossmember mounted to the frame? Sorta like wearing suspenders and a belt? Or like having BOTH kinds of music - country AND western?
 
similar to what I haven't finisheded on my pig...got 4 point engine mounts: 2 in front of block, 2 on bellhousing...got the crossmember fabbed and installed, just need to fab the trans mount to fit the crossmember. then it will have 5 points of attachment.
 
Que? What happened?

On another note....

Currently with 2F mounts.

60 cross sourced. Just found the 3FE mounts, so should know more tomorrow.
 
A stated in the 80s thread ... That sucks. Glad you are OK.

Re the second pic ... Looking sexy there. Justin Timberlake has nothin on you ... You're brining sexy back!
