just want to no wat is required to fit 120y engine ( its got the dissy in a different place to 1200 - is this a 120y block??? ) i dont want to have to buy oversized pistons to use my original 1200 block if i can get away with it

U SHOULD SEARCH IT FIRST BUT I THINK ITS JUST SMALL PLATES WITH 2 HOLES DRILLED IN IT BECAUSE THE MOUNTS ARE ABOUT AN INCH OR 2 APART. SOMEONE HERE MAY HAVE SOME TO SELL BUT U CAN MAKE THEM FOR ABOUT $5. ALSO THE WIRING ON THE ALTERNATOR IS ON THE OTHER SIDE SO U HAVE TO MAKE AN EXTENSION LEAD OF SOMESORT (if u know what i mean)

thanks m8 , im only new to this ,wat do ua meen by searching it , how do i do that?

swt , i just worked it out then.makes it a lot easyer

I did it--for a while I was running an a-15 in
mine. it worked ok with the wires for the
alternator lengthened and metal plates on
the motor mounts.. the a-12 with j-13
flat-top pistons seemed to make more power
than the stock a-15

good to see your a master tech, ive been working at my local toyota dealership for about 13 years , still cant bring myself to build a corolla -

I've been here at the Lexus dealer since
1990 . I 've had my 1200 since 1982
so I am still more Datsun than Toyota
still I considered putting the 4.0 v8 in
mine. I am now 3 years into the switchover
to a CA18det. It seems the time I need to
put into this project just isn't there.
gotta do it soon cause the F350 costs a
whole lot more to operate than the datto
will when it's done.

I modified my crossmember rather than make the plates for the engine mounts. The mechanic wouldn't pass the adapter plate style engine mounts for a roadworthy cert. so I just modified the mounts on the crossmember to look factory and meet and original 120y mounts.
