Bahahaha.
I can't keep track of all the different builds going on in here, and that is a good problem!
Anyway, if you can document the mods to floor and tunnel (if any) I will appreciate...

Got the transmission and clutch pulled, took some pics of my new tranny jack which makes it a one person job 
Also thought Luke's adaptor was pretty cool (really beefy):
Almost got the bellhousing pulled, ran out of gas when I realized I needed to to pull the starter ... more to come ...

Are you running a 55 bell housing on the 55 mounts?
If yes, that would still translate well to other 55 owners running 1/2/3F power looking for a 5th...

Yes - the late H42/Splitcase was installed with the stock bellhousing and transmission mounts. I'm removing the bellhousing ear-mounts and going to a late-FJ60 cross member mount under the H55 with the swap. I would not recommend using the stock mounts, I had a lot of driveline movement (which was exasperated by the soft diesel motor mounts designed to dampen vibration). I will have to grind "dog ears" into this bellhousing to mate with the front of the H55
HTH!

I have a h55 shifter waiting to go into mine that was heated and bent straighter to clear drivers leg. Should be same procedure. Lookin good

Yep, that helps, thanks!
Question, why not retain the bell housing mounts and run the tranny mount? Sort of a belt-and-suspenders approach?

Because I want to route my exhaust up over the cross member and down the frame rail, something the current mount didn't allow

Well that makes sense!
I hope you take lots of pics.
If exhaust were not a factor, would you use both sets of mounts?
Im using both sets on mine but havent gotten to exhaust stage yet. Used fj60 xmember

That looks fantastic!
Tucker,
The sliders look really nice. Good addition.
Question about the little bump out at the rear door, just for looks or a purpose other than step?
Even though I have IPOR sliders welded in, I wouldn't mind having something like your's, just for a step up.

It's a kick out, kicks the tire over and hopefully around the rock your sliding on
Yup - beefy u-bolts were supplied with the kit, will try to get a pic later -
