Your thread has been super useful in giving me ideas for my 42. Keep it up!

He bought a BJ42 as a parts vehicle. If it's the mounts that attach to the frame you are after a member Awl_Teq used to make them. Maybe check with him to see if he still has some kicking around

Ya, I'm thinking the same thing - might as well tacl it into place and be done with it. 1 inch of good weld holds 60K pounds - or something like that.

Still tight as of today, 'bout 40K miles.

Well you said earlier in your thread that "If one bought an engine (which I did) and was gonna mount it up without another car to measure (also my case) it would be tough, if not impossible." So I'm kinda scared.
Right Now I'm trying to figure out the trans cross member angles and measurements (not present on my fj) so I thought a picture of the stock one could be helpful even if it's just to give me a better idea of the way Toyota originally planed things.

Try Dan at 4wheel auto in Canada, was able to get me engine and trans mount from a BJ 40.
