@Dagha Boy the H engine mounts you describe are what is on Old Landy.

If you stick a pipe in the bucket and blow dry air in the sand it will be picked up easier and in a constant flow. Just put a ball valve on top of the pipe and play with the flow.
I'm absolutely loving your attention to detail here... even painting the heads of the bolts. Well done!

Man that’s awesome! Just taking a car and going without a time frame or destination is great. I would love to do a trip like that when this is all done I’m thinkin all of Route 66 and a PINS trip. Maybe we can take Landy back full circle and get to Africa know that would be cool!

We got back to the barn the following weekend after the H was removed and started the process to put in the mach up 2H. I cut off the rear engine mount and grinded it down to give some clearance for the 2H. I also removed the trans hump knowing I would probably have to modify it.
That was all the frame and body needed before the transplant so I started working on the 2H. I started by bolting in the HJ47 engine mounts *with built in power steering bracket and alternator bracket*.

While looking at what rubber isolators to use I ended up running into some problems. My Dad had been previously collecting 2H isolators as we are in the process of converting all our rigs to diesel. The isolators I planned on using were off a 2H, 40 series so I assumed they would work but I ran into two problems.
2. I am guessing these 2H isolators came off a 60 because they have another stud on the bottom of the isolator which if put on a 60 will slide into its designated hole on the frame mount. There is no such hole on the H frame mounts so any isolator with a stud on the bottom will never sit flush.
We addressed problem one pretty easily as we had special plates which fit on top of the isolator that are just tall enough to make the stud flush with the plate surface.
- The weird thing about HJ47 engine mounts is the small hole in which the stud on the isolator falls into is clocked about 45 degrees off the main hole. That means any isolator that does not have a clocked stud will not sit flush.

As to problem two we just decided to leave it and figure it out later as the engine was just temporary. Lastly, we bolted the isolators to the engine mounts and started the install.
The install actually went really well believe it or not! The trans cleared the fire wall easily and there was a good distance between the fire wall and the engine.

The only problem was we couldn’t get the isolators to line up with the frame mounts. We ended up getting the right side one in but it pushed the left side so far up that we would have had to cut a notch in the frame mount. Upon closer inspection of another set of 2H mounts off an HJ60 we realized the angle of the back plate on the isolators was a lot less than the 40 series ones. We swapped them out but still ran into the same problem. I was not keen on the idea of cutting a notch into the frame mounts thinking it could ruin its structural integrity. So we left it at that and called it a day.

We came back the following weekend having done a little bit of research on isolators. I found out the only isolators with clocked studs were either off a 2H from a HJ47 or from a 3FE. The other option was to use 2F isolators which don’t have studs or back plates.
We luckily had 2F mounts stored in the shop so we decided to run with those for now just so we can look at the other things. They bolted right in and sat the engine perfectly. If anyone can chime in and give me some advice as to if I can use those in the long run would be great. I am mostly just skeptical as if they will be able to handle the torque of a diesel.

@roma042987 might be able to weigh in.
