using fj60 p/s pump (1 Viewer)

[Team TUF]

Hi there,
New to the forum. I have recently purchased a 78' 2f engine to replace the original in my 83' fj60. The 78' doesn't have the correct holes in the head to mount the p/s bracket. What is the best solution to this problem? Do I simply drill and tap where the hole should be? Is there a custom bracket available? Thanks in advance for your help.

I thought the 78's did have the correct holes. Check FAQ's there is plenty of material there.

The holes are in the block, not the head.

Yes, they are on the block, just not on a '78 2F block.

Get the correct hi-compression 81-87 engine.

Using the open chamber head in an FJ60 is only gonna make it slower.
And the 81-87 air cleaner won't fit on the 75-80 valve cover.
And the PS won't bolt up to the block.
