1HD-FTE to 105
Posted: Sun Sep 23, 2012 9:27 pm
G'day all ,
The turbo 1HZ has finally given up ,purchase a wreck and I'm up to my elbows in a 1HD-FTE +A442F auto conversion.
For those of you been down this road before you will know its reasonably straight forward conversion.
Except my HZJ105 is a manual which brings me to this topic of conversation!
Toyota in there wisdom allocated manual or auto gearbox cross members mounts to the chassis which makes it a bit tricky for the auto bolt in .
This conversion has been done 100s of times before but there doesn't seem to be much info on the gearbox cross member set up
if you've got any links or preferably some pictures please post.
Ive got a few ideas that i'm toying with atm which include an adapter between the rubber cross member mount and box directly
I'm prefering this method as I'd rather not cut off original mounts from chassis and reweld.
cheers Chris
