That's what I sorta thought, but I was looking for someone to confirm.
What's the deal? Only getting 21 years out of a mount? Had to be a
manual tranny mount too because I had spare motor mounts and automatic
mounts laying around.

Speaking of stuff laying around, I have this 20R engine laying around
and was wondering if that bolts up to a 85 4runner transmission?

21 years is pushing it a bit but, we all get a lazy. I'm restoring an
86 turbo 4x4 4 22R-TE here with 270k on the OD. It's a CA truck that's
never been in a crash. Recently found it's replacement drivetrain on
craigslist. 72k on the new find. I'm tempted to restore both trucks.

I'm not familiar with this motor but have heard that it's evan more
reliable than the 22R family. Instead of being built like a tank, it's
built like a battleship! Dump a message up here and i'm sure someone
will jump in with an answer.

It's still in the vehicle, a 1978 mini-mirage camper. After all these
years, the camper part is shot. I may just turn it into a flatbed truck.
That depends on how chopped up I find the rear window area after I rip
the camper off of it.

Hey!
Sounds like a huge project. Good luck!
