Thread: 6x6 4BD1T - engine mount width between chassis rails same as 110 4x4?

Yeah it would have to wait until the house sells and a new house happens, no time for another project😊.

What year 130??

1996 130 with QLD reg.

I have a N/A perentie 4bdI engine (not the to be fitted, that will be a T engine) complete with engine mounts. Visually, bugger all difference between the 6x6 T motor mounts and the N/A engine mounts. I haven't measured the faces yet (distance between mount faces left and right) though.

Just today I started fitting my grays purchased ex-ADF 4bd1t from a 6x6 into my 200tdi 110 (same chassis width as your 130).
I used original mounts already attached to the 4bd1t (including rubber mounts) and started fabricating up my own chassis mounts.

The engine is a tight fit. Maybe 30mm between the power steering box and power steering pump on one side and on the other side maybe 30mm between the starter motor and the bottom corner of the firewall.

I have used an LT95 (LT95A - 12C) that I believe came from an old RRC (although I was told otherwise)
The motor/gearbox sits about 60mm further back than the 4bd1/tl95 in a perentie. I still haven't wrapped my head around why but the gearbox is sitting about 30mm from the drivers seatbox so it would be impossible for it to the 60mm forward (I would have preferred this).
The rear tailshaft fits perfect, however I think I will have to use a D1 front prop as the distance to the diff is a little shorter.

So far it's been a tough few days but good progress considering I only started pulling my 200tdi out 3 days ago.

Hope this helps somewhat.

cheers.

Thanks mate. Useful information indeed.
Judging from you picture, the 4BD1T is sitting lower between the rails. I'll take a pick of the 110 perentie chassis half cut soon and post up. But distance wise your job is spot on. She is a tight fit yes? I'm surprised the rear propshaft aligns up length wise. Is the yoke part of the propshaft sitting in the same spot (on the splines) as before with the 200tdi five speed fitted?
I'm interested to hear what you did with engine shut off solenoid or stop cable, and exhaust down pipe.
I've got an airconditioning compressor to fit front left of the motor so clearances are going to be a headache.

These images taken from an orientation where the chassis half cut is sitting front end down on the concrete. Both left and right mounts are shown (left with half rubber engine mount still attached). Apparently, the vehicle to which this chassis belonged was driven into a rock wall at about 70km an hour at some sort of angle. Of course the vehicle was then driven home...
I'm going to cut these off and plate them, and mount with crush tubes through the chassis.
