Fj60 1.9tdi swap

Also pretty sure all the newer VW diesels run a dual mass flywheel to help smooth things out.

Did some research and some people run dual mass while others run single. There didn’t seem to be much difference.

Doing it this way, I get to keep using the original Toyota flywheel, clutch and bellhousing and not modify anything. Part swaps are then straight off the shelf.

Looking forward to the end result. I’m very curious to see how that little motor does powering one of these machines. What axle gearing are you running?

Small update. I moved her today to check clutch engagement. She moves without throttle up my driveway no problem

So I'm designing better, side, mounting plates from the engine to the chassis. This is taking up a lot of time. Getting there slowly but surely. I'm not comfortable with my initial plan to use the front mount. At least I have a stable platform to work from now.
