Bevin had pulled the ol' 22R carburated engine, after it blew it's last head gasket, and had the engine bay all cleaned up before I even got to his house the first time back in June. He got the entire setup for nearly $2,000, which included the computer, complete engine bay fuse box wiring harness, crowl interior wiring harness, complete exhaust/tranny/o2/fuel wiring harness, and he got the '03 Taco gas tank and purge tank, which has the EFI fuel pump and sender, and the CA smog required pressure sensors and floats that we will be transfering over to a modified '85 carburated gas tank.


Here are some pics of the Engine Mounts we decided to go with. Bevin worked his mad fabricating skills and created a bolt-in Hybrid 3RZ/22R Chassis engine mount bracket by using the 3RZ Engine Bracket while maintaining the stock Hilux 22R Chassis Engine Mount Location.

We went this route because it was a cut-free / weld-free setup that has turned out quite nicely :thumbs: Good work Bevin!
In fact, the Tacoma mounted 3RZ uses the same rubber engine mounts as his '85 22R, so he now has an extra set of mounts to boot!
