Builds Introducing my 2004 Tacoma built on 1ton chassis with dual wheel rear end

[savvas]

Just brainstorming here guys...

What about keeping the 15BF plate, both pieces of the stock aluminum bellhousing (360mm flywheel, 300mm clutch and pressure plate) and then fab an adapter to mount the h55f. That would make it a 3-piece bellhousing.

All of these provided the input shaft is long enough. This is similar to what another guy did in his 15BF swap.

What's left over from the 1993 land cruiser I have to fit the front axle and suspension onto my Hilux chassis
I don't know if I should first fit this or the engine to my frame

so which clutch and flywheel did you end up using? 13bt? looks like a later aluminum b series bellhousing correct?

13bt set up that's correct.

Looks like a lot of clearance issues. My main concern at this point is the alternator hitting the frame. I'm going to have to relocate
Does anyone here have experience swapping a.15bt to a 1993 hilux chassis??

 

[15bt Tacoma]

Looks like I'm going to have to re-locate the alternator to the top. Have I seen 15b engines with the alternator on the top of the engine. If so. Then I need to find that bracket.
Anyone??

Fj80 front axle being fitted to dually frame. I measured and recorded all angles and dimensions from fj80 frame. Now it's time to fabricate boots and brackets.
