The stock motor mounts work but are a little too soft. I had quite a bit of drive train twist. I finally got rid of it when I did the t-case mount that bolts to the back of the t-case. It kept everything from being able to twist.
I was running the yota v6 radiator and it did ok, but there were some times that it would still get hot on me. I agree with the above, if you can get the chevy rad to fit then do it, otherwise get an aluminum one.
I ran the stock yota 5spd and loved it. With the crawler and the torque of the 4.3 it would crawl over anything.
I also ran the chevy ps box. I cut the metal on the high pressure line then put the yot nut on it and flared it to fit the yota box. That worked pretty well but shortly after I also put on hydro assist.
Hope the conversion is going well.
