Zak Thumb's Up
JDM 2LTE Engine
This donor JDM 2LTE engine was ordered online, and has yet been run & tested.
Note: power steering pump is on the left side - the vehicle it came from was set up for right hand drive.

5-Speed Tranny w/ New Bellhousing
Here is the original 5-speed manual transmission reinstalled with new JDM 2LTE bellhousing.
Note: Starter motor cut out and clutch release fork pivot are now on opposite sides of the bellhousing.
Existing Motor Mount Pedestal
New Motor Mount
These are larger hydraulically stabilized OEM Toyota motor mounts for diesel engines. They will be made to fit the smaller existing pedestals.
New Motor Mount Close-Up
Important Business
Note: Power steering pump and lines are routed over to what is now the wrong side of the engine.
Our intention will be to make the power steering pump fit on the correct side of the engine.
Fuel lines, hydraulic clutch, and even exhaust will have to be routed to the opposite sides of the engine bay than the truck originally was.
Very Important Business

4Runner Underbelly
Note: The current oil pan (for a 2WD vehicle) is resting on the cross-member, and will need to be replaced with a 4WD oil pan with the appropriate cut out for these linkages.
