They are the same engine mount from the look of them, but they don't line up when you drop a 3rz in place of a 22r DOH!! The 22R chassis mounts are about 3-4inches further forward than where the 3rz needs to sit.

It is the same with most Hilux engines.

Fixed by either cutting the mounts off the chassis, bolting to engine and rewelding to the chassis, or using plates to bolt the engine up.
