3RZ motor mounts for 85 truck
« on: Aug 17, 2009, 01:05:27 PM »
Has Marlin started making the motor mounts for the 3RZ swap into the 85 trucks?

If not, is there  a source for them yet or a blueprint to make my own?


Thanks, Robert.

Are you looking for bolt in? Or weld in?

i have been working on a set, but they will either use poly or rubber spring bushings, there isnt enough room to fit the stock toyota rubber mount.

In Bevin's 3 RZ swap he was able to use toyota mounts.

but he modified the frame mounts, mine will be a direct bolt in for those with out access to welders.

The only thing I could say against a direct bolt in motor mount for the 3RZ and 2RZ's is that I've seen way to many stock mounts crack or brake at the frame on the Mini Trucks and even the Taco's. Ya I have a welder so Im baised in that respect but factory stuff does give way after awhile. Plus IMHO if you're doing a swap like this, you will most likley have to weld other things, spring hangers, rocker guards, etc. Yes these things are not specifically related to an engine swap, but most of us on this site are doing those things anyway.

Dont get me wrong, It's a lot of work and engineering that goes into making bolt in parts like that, and I commend you on that, Im just not sure its the way to go.  :twocents:
