What crossmember should be used with the 3F bell housing? I am not able to separate the 2F bell housing from the F155 so I bought another bell housing. Or can I just lower the right bracket to match the angle?

I have a crossmeber shipping and found a good price for an isolator.
The shift knob has different thread pitch also from the 4 speed.
What crossmember are you using? Does it allow for the rotation or is that in the isolator? I have a 60 series 4/85-7/87 crossmember just in case I get around to installing a H55F in my FJ62? It's in another location but don't remember if it angle just that the isolator area is flat versus a cradle like the 40 series.
The 3F bellhousing is rarer the the earlier four speed. Probably made a trade for the correct one.
Knob is the same as the one used on 60 series. It used a different tab on the end with a silvershift pattern verus black.

The crossmember is from BTB. I should be able to set the rotation once the transmission is bolted up to the bell housing before welding the brackets in place.

I have a 2F bell housing, but it is attached to a seized 155F so I can't remove the clutch or remove the internal bolts of the bell housing to the block.
So I ordered a 3F and had it blasted and powder coated.

I'm not sure what year the fj40 the crossmember came from but if it's from a 82 fj40 it should be the same as an 82 fj60.Con tack Dan at 4 Wheel Auto in Canada. He supplied my needed H55 F crossmember for a FJ40.
I am not using the 155F engine so no I was not unbolting the bearing caps it is being replaced with a Cummins R2.8. Right now I have it cribbed under the oil pan anyway because I was trying to get the bell housing off. I may have to remove the oil pan and unbolt the main and rod caps.
I see there is a boss for the slave cylinder and your right, there is no provision for using the mounts that the 2F has and I was going to use the two mounts for the datum to set everything forward and aft and transversely so that complicated things a bit. I am already into this bell housing for a bit of coin. Or I have the 3F machined for the rear motor mounts like a 2F bell housing or come up with another way to set the datum points without them. If I can loosen the bearing caps and get the crank to turn I could get the clutch out and use the 2F to mock up the location of the crossmember then use the 3F with the R2.8. I have plenty of time to get this figured out.
I read on other posts that the 2F motor mounts were not needed with the crossmember under the H55F.
I did not know there was a different fork so that is something else I need to research and find. Will check the bottom cover if mine does not fit. I was not planing on changing the bell housing. The motor is sized so I needed a back up plan. I will loosen the cap bolts on the crank and rod bearings to see if I can get the crank to turn and continue removing the clutch and unbolt the bell housing.did you get the fork to go along with the bellhousing? it is slightly longer than the earlier fork
how about the bottom cover? it has a different shape than the earlier cover
you could remove the center of the clutch with a torch, access the flywheel bolts remove then have access to the bellhousing.
I would probably stick with the older bellhousing in a 40, but that is me.
