Problems swapping LHD 3b into RHD 1981 BJ-44 w/2B

[TOBASH]

If you're interested in reading up on the RHD/LHD conversion, and have some time on your hands, you may wish to take a look at my build thread where I show the process in some detail. Also, on the last page of the thread I specified all the changes necessary to do the conversion. Just follow the link in my signature line...
Further, in terms of the swap you're considering, why not keep the existing tranny and transfer in place, and change out the engines only? I was thinking about going to the 5-speed myself, but elected to keep the H41 and go with rubber overdrive instead (Toyo M55 tires @ 265/85/R16 give me 32.1" diameter wheels). My truck goes all day down the highway at 65 miles per hour, 2800 rpm. Since there's no point in going any faster, I'm no longer thinking the switch to 5 speed is at all needed. Just my $0.02.

Dude, you're a rockstar. MANY THANKS.

Thanks to the rest of you too.

My truck was never a USA truck. It spent its first 10 years in Japan, and the next 17 in New Zealand. Now it is mine.

So, it is slightly possible that Toyoda tried out something for the home crew prior to export. I do have an electrically powered t-case.

Who knows?

Anyway, I just started leaking rad fluid from a new spot near the engine bay up on top of the engine on the side away from the exhaust manifold. Looks like a metal water carrying thingy went bad....

Just another learning opportunity.

I can't wait until I swap out this engine!!!
