in for more pics. how are you planning on doing the motor mounts? im swapping a 96 3rz into my 85 runner currently. hope all the headache is worth the little extra power lol

I just got the chill cat mounts.  I like how they look.  They are about 150.

I want to do an electric fan but I'm not sure how big it needs to be.
For now I'm going to go with a 22rte 3 core radiator with the stock fan clutch. Probly make my own shroud as well.   If anyone knows what type of Efan I should use. Let me know

Hopefully better than the rest of us. Nothing against your work, I just think something must have happened to your jig during the moving of shops.

Let me know if you have any issues with the set I sent you.  I've checked the fixture with some of the first sets ever produced and sent out a test set.  The test set worked great and the older mounts fit the fixture perfect.  Keep me in the loop on how it goes.

the motor mounts worked great for me.  I didn't need to do any adjustments to them.  :biggthumpup:
