my mate and i are putty a v6 in his 85 hilux dual cab, we bought the kit second hand which it came out of a hilux 4runner, now the right hand engine mount is out by 60 mm, we have the left one which is a marks adaptors one, not welded on yet.
will we need to customise the right one? or should it bolt up to the original hilux mount.

the 86 runner is probably IFS.
the hilux dual cab will be solid front axle.
the engine mounts are different positions between petrol and diesel so depends on what the kit was for originally and what it is going into.
i beleive thet deisel models line up but the y series petrols do not.
check the marks website im pretty sure the info is on there...

depends wat gear box you are yousing an wat bell housing. with myn i had to get engine mounts from dellow automotive once you work out wat you need just bolt the bear box up the the engine then bolt it in with the cross member then raise or lower the engine to were you want it . hop this helps
if its got t#ts or tyres your gunna have trouble with it
All i can say is do not use the marks adapter for the left side ( passenger side ) if you want to run crossover steering because you will need to booty fab it.
Right hand bracket ( drivers side ) I just chopped mine out and got the bracket from marks but in hindsight i would have just gone to wreckers and cut one out of another chassis and put it where you need it. Marks kit is $250 for both so not sure what it would be for 1 but i could only imagine it would be around the $100 mark. Correct me if i am wrong.
Hope this helps
