It sounds too late now. But why not switch to a shorter car intake. Or is that more involved then it's worth.

Truck intake gives you more torque. There is something to be said about having it all "stock" when looking for replacement parts.It sounds too late now. But why not switch to a shorter car intake. Or is that more involved then it's worth.
I thought the same thing Andy, but the primary reason behind keeping the truck intake is the positioning of the drive accessories. The truck engines keep them up high and tighter to the engine, where the car accessories are lower an wider. This is because the throttle body is lower to the water pump and creates the clearance issues with accessories on the car engines.It sounds too late now. But why not switch to a shorter car intake.

Lots of guys on the 80 series swap thread use the Dirty Dingo Universal Hot Rod mounts with good success. Marks told me these would work with my early 1991 FJ80 and I never questioned them or thought about the RHD/LHD issues. I'll get these to work, but it's taking some time and effort.I have looked at a bunch of mounts. If I do it I think I will use the factory GM mounts and the mount from the frame that I unbolted and modify it to fit in the 80 frame once the stock mounts are cut out. I think the GM motor mounts will keep the vibration down. The AA mounts are stupid simple but I think they are a little too rigid. I will keep following and see how yours turns out. I have a couple LS combos that need homes!
