Re: Cressida motor engine mounts
Yes but mine is not a Cressida but rather a Supra moter. Check the side of the block there should be more then one place where the engine mounting bolts on. What I have seen in one of the US forums was that a guy using a Cressida engine had to get himself a Supra sump oil pump/pickup and mounting bracket to make the Cressida motor fit his 4Runner, I am not sure if that is also the case with the SFA Lux.
What I would suggest is to lower the motor inplace get the GB and engine connected while the engine is still suspended and then lift/lower the engine to the height you want it. Fist check that the sump will clear the fron axle even under articulation and if that is sorted then check your mounting's alignment. I would not modify the mountying brackets on the chassis but rather the brackets on the engine. Fit a origional 4Y mounting and see if you can line up the existing mounting brackets with the holes on the block. Mine needed a little gentle persuasion with a 10 pound hammer but alternatively you should be able to make new ones from mild steel.
