94 4Runner 3VZE Chassis Engine Perches

Hi All,

I had my '94 3VZE 4Runner at a Garage most of last year undergoing a full Body Off Restoration, during this time I replaced my rusty Chassis with a sourced rust free one.. The Garage doing the work however binned my old Chassis before they removed the 3VZE Engine Perches from the Ladder, and instead fabricated a set.



Trouble is, they didn't do a 100% Job, and now the Engine sits a little bit too low i.e. dipping a touch at the front.. This is causing problems with Exhaust Routing [I installed Headers], and the Cooling Fan..

I cannot get a 3VZE Chassis over here in the UK, so wondering if there are a) 3VZE Perches available somewhere or b) if someone has a rusty 4Runner Chassis they could sell me the Engine Perch[es] section from..??

Any help gratefully received..

I posted here in the hope that someone might have the Chassis Perches after a Diesel Swap etc.

Just a follow-up--I'm not smart. I had the engine at TDC, the distributor cleaned and lined up, and the mark on the dizzy housing matched the mark on the cam cover. What I DIDN'T have was the dizzy gear matched up to the other two marks. It looked right but was 180 degrees out. That's what I get for rushing.
