Motor Mount Location when swapping to 4.3?
#1
*edit::
Well, got all the motor mount stuff taken care of. Anyone with any pointers on the electronics using the existing computer? I've marked EVERYTHING with tape, taken videos and pictures, etc etc.. Anything that has to be terminated or the like that I could get some pointers on?
=================================================
First and foremost this forum is the friendliest bunch of toyota genius I've found ever seen on the net, hands down. I've been to a few other sites that have been useless elitists that think there crap doesn't stink. Kudos to you guys. I am now going to call this home.
I have searched till my eyes were bloodshot here & I apologize in advance if this has been asked a billion times but I'm turning crosseyed. If there is a good and detailed write-up to this please point me in the right direction.
Now that I have swelled all of your heads for the questions
Pulling my 17ft basstracker with my ungeared '85 yota stock 22r with 33's is a struggle.
I have come across a next to free efi vortec 4.3 out of a '93 blazer. TH350 tranny(brand new rebuilt w/1yr warranty) with np208 transfer case(brand new rebuilt w/1yr warranty). Gutting every wire, gas tank, lines, etc etc.
3 main questions:
1) From what I've gathered Advanced adapters would be the place to get motor mounts (please correct me if I'm wrong). With that said:
2) Does the engine have to sit at a certain degree of level or just put it in as level as possible and how far back? (already have a 3" body lift)
3) Anyone have direction for me on wiring the new EFI. (ugh)
Thanks in advance.

I'm in Columbus, GA if you are in the area I'd feed and water you well for your expertise. (not too much beer till the end of the day though hahaha)

1 - put the motor where it makes the most sense. Don't let the motor mounts determine that for you and certainly don't let the transfer case mounts determine that either. If you want to use your factory mounts, call Downey and get their adapters.
2 - See above.
3 - Yes, call Howell EFI and buy their harness. Period. www.howellefi.com, I believe.
