To wrap the flywheel discussion up, I had it machined with a .020" step, which is the FJ60 specification. I could not find the step height listed for the FZJ80 anywhere:

Next question if you gentlemen and ladies wouldn't mind. It's clear that the tunnel will have to be modified, but how much? In this pic the transmission is about 1" from being able to be bolted up to the motor. Does this sharpie line look to be about where y'all have cut the tunnel in the past? I'm having trouble finding pictures of the completed tunnel modification and don't want to cut too much:

Thanks!!
I had a similar issue on mine and I made up measurements in my swap thread though it's for an early model 80.
I would say your sharpie markings are a bit too wide as you want enough material for the shifter boot bolts (there are 2 that go on the 5 speed shifter side of the boot). Also, taking off minimal material will help keep out the noise.
@FloridaFJ80 just did his and you can see how much material he took out on one of the pics in his thread.
It would be great if someone can put up good measurements so I can add it to my thread... My stuff is on rhd not lhd.
Thank you sir. I just flipped through his two 80 threads (80 evolved, 80 evolved 40th anniversary) and didn't see a manual transmission in either truck. Have a link for me?
Yeah it does. I see it here. It looks like I don't have enough marked with sharpie to cut out!

Perhaps depth wise you don't have enough, but you don't want too much width-wise. It would suck to take off too much and make the bracket a PITA when you want to bolt up the shifter insulator boot.
I just measured my shifter location on my H151F and then went under the truck and measured from engine flange surface to approximate location on the tunnel. Then cut out the diameter of the shifter cylinder + 3/4" or so.
How many of the ECU pins are different?
I have an early 90's 1fz MT ECU and almost every single pin is different than the AT version.
Thanks for the picture!
