I currently picked up a 20r Shortblock originally bought for a 76 2wd Toyota pickup, and have the whole entire motor painted and ready to drop in my 83 shortbed 4x4, but just realized today that the power steering bracket and alternator bracket would not work off of the trucks original 22r. I've read a few posts online about my year motor not having the proper mounting holes
So i have a few questions of my own, the PS bracket bolted onto my motor, but it is in the way of my vacuum advance on my distributer, there is no way to have my distributer in the right spot and have the bracket bolted on at the same time.
Also, my alternator "adjuster bracket" will not seem to work either, i mounted it on the motor like i thought it was supposed to go and the original belt off my 22r was WAY to short for my 20r, Can i swap my alternator to the other side of the motor ( where the A/C pump used to be and run a different belt?) finding this out was very frustrating because i planned on having the motor bolted in the truck tonight... but ran into this problem. Do i just do something custom?
The truck has high steer already and also has the ifs box mounted on the frame, just need to hook up my pump and alternator to be on the road..Please help guys, Pictures help so much! thanks again in advance.
