Engine Mount Set Up
The most accurate way of determining the position of the new mounts is to trial fit the
engine.
NOTE: If this engine kit is being fitted to FJ40 or FJ55 series Landcruisers the original
bellhousing will be very close or may contact the front transmission tunnel fire wall area.
To rectify the problem some panel beating may be required.
1. Remove the original chassis mounts from the chassis by drilling or grinding the heads
of the rivets then drifting the rest of the rivet through the chassis rails. If the mounts
are welded simply grind them off the chassis.
2. Fit the engine mounting rubbers to the engine using the bolts and washers supplied in
the kit.
3. Loosely fit the chassis brackets to the rubbers. The smaller bracket is fitted to the left
side of the vehicle and the larger one on the right side.
4. Make sure that the dowels are fitted to the rear of the engine.
5. Guide engine into place and bolt the engine to the bellhousing using the new bolts
supplied.
6. Once satisfied with the engines positioning tack weld or bolt the mounts in place.
7. Remove the engine and complete the welding of the mounts.
8. Paint the welded area.

GM Engine Preparation
1. Fit the spigot bearing (6202) into the spigot bearing adaptor (MFC971) then fit the
completed assembly to the rear of the crank using a suitable drift.
2.
Bolt the GM flywheel to the engine using loctite on the bolts and torque to
specification. NOTE: It is advisable to have the flywheel machined if fitting a new
clutch kit.
3. Fit the clutch assembly to the flywheel using the input shaft extension supplied with
the kit as a clutch aligning tool. Note: The standard 11" Chevy clutch kit is
recommended.
4. Refer to diagram C. With the clutch kit fitted to the flywheel take a measurement
from the highest point on the pressure plate fingers to the rear of the engine block
This dimension should be 10-mm +-3-mm less than the dimension obtained from
step E6, or F5.
