The front drive setup and motor mounts are installed, waiting on the torque converter to assemble the drive line.
This is a pull out motor for another project, ready to have the harness and a few other items stripped and then get cleaned.
Big difference

I'm glad there are smart guys like you doing this. I wouldn't even know where to begin looking at those.

Home sweet home, motor mounts are in and cross member is under way.
Can't wait to see how you're handling the crossmember. Are you using an FJ60 mount with the FJ62 crossmember or are you fabricating your own crossmember? -John

I assumed PORN like this was frowned upon???

Cross member is a reworked 62 set up for a 60 isolator.
I am right there with you Shane, These motors are a thing of beauty in my eyes.

Just awesome! Stan, do you use the stock steering box or go with GM?

The motor mounts are something I am working on..............
Thanks Stan. I know you don't want to disclose a lot of information here publicly. Totally understandable because others will just take your ideas. Just saying you don't have to worry about that happening with me lol. I am interested in your work because I might be having a swap done in the future. You say you are working on the motor mounts. Would you consider just buying a kit from say Torfab for the motor mounts and trans mounts? Or do you prefer to fab it yourself? From what I hear Torfab has it figured out. But that is just hearsay, I don't know first hand. Might save you time though.

I have the motor mounts figured out, working on possibly selling them, although getting back into shipping does not appeal to me all that much, very time consuming.
Ain't this the truth.
