hzj7X transmission bias

[rick_d]

guys-

looking at a "B" tranny mount and a "HZ" I noticed a bias on the HZ to one side or other. The B stamp is on the same side as the bottom plate "tit" (metal protrusion). The H of the HZ is on the opposite side so I can't tell.

for ye who have a H55 mounted HZJ7X, do the studs on this mount move the tranny to right side or left side of frame?

Hi Rick Is this what you need?

 

[roscoFJ73]

I hope this makes sense

Maybe Rick wants to know how far is the transmission centerline is to each frame rail? Dunno. Is this mount off an FJ73 or the HZJ75?

i can go measure today if you would like... Berni had the truck yesterday so i couldn't...

Its off a HZJ75.Rick sent me a PM. I hope I got it right. I think he wants to know which way the mount goes on and the relationship between the 2 studs into the crossmember and the 4 bolt holes in the tranny.
See how the top 2 are to the right of the 2 studs.

hmm strange-
the mount I have if put in correctly puts the "H"'s in the back.

bias of tranny is to right side of frame it appears.....

if you take a look at the 75 sreies the engine sits crooked from the factory. tail to the rH and front to the left...
cheers

wayne-

same is true of 1960's F engine set ups. When I placed the HD-T in the 45 wagon frame I located the crank pulley nut at the same position as the ole F with the best rear local I could using a 1982 J40 mount on the H55. All of the rubber mounts, J60/40, J70/4 use a mount with the studs equadistance from the ends. For some reason, the HZ's move it to the right (they are also 1/4" shorter than B...).

Like Dave Tay and soon Jeff Bryant- I too will switch to the HZ/HD platform in a pre 1990 7X series...........
