I thought then I would swap the alternator mounting bracket over to get the easy to find 100 mm one to bolt up but the mounting holes on the block are different. The timing covers are different as well.
It seems there are a few differences in 4BD1 block castings over the years
Another thing. The thermostat housing on the spare and the one on my 110 is offset to the right of the tappet cover. The one on this engine I am working on is in line directly to the front of the tappet cover , with differences in the ports for heater pipes etc.
Hitachi LR170-401 is the 12V 70A one that is one the army motors Keith. From memory I think they are the 100mm leg spacing. Any sparkie or Ashdown/Ingrams should be able to cross reference that number. I'm sure you could modify the mount to fit. The thermostat housing offset differences are between industrial and automotive applications, and are not interchangeable because of bolt spacings and numbers where it bolts to the head. I have some new industrial ones like on the army 4x4 motors if you need one.
