Three days after arrival of the engine I commenced the RWD conversion, Granted I had swapped the intake and valve covers around already, these two shots show a Gen3 Montero rear plate and flexplate installed as well as the crossover water return manifold. All of our big motor SOHC components swap on directly.
This motor being the later single valve MIVEC control system things are easier to convert. Most all I had to do so far back here was rework the crossover oil pipe for the cam position actuators.
I will however need to weld on another heater hose outlet on the water crossover to feed the rear heater.
