looking back on it, the rear sump would probably work better than the dual sump... my ranger has a 89 toyota clip in it with a 302 double sump pan. i pushed it real far back so that the steering is in between the crank pulley and the oil pan.

layed out it the drainplug is about an inch or so from the ground.

not sure if this pic will help at all but its a 302 in between yota rails

I didnt read the other posts cuz I have been drinking tonight but save yourself the headache and buy some motor mounts from these guys http://www.northwestoffroad.com/ I bought some chevy mounts for my 84 toyota and they were well worth it. They make everything for the ford/chevy conversions for toyotas

haha, well when you come back from your night of drinking, will these work with 2wd? I am guessing they do, as you used the chevy ones.

how do you plan on doing the wiring and shit on the truck to have it running and legal with lights and shit?

anyways, i went over and messed with the motor today. it runs!!! it either needs a new fuel pump, or a new cam. the motor sounds strong, but the fuel pump wont suck enough fuel. I took the "in" line off the pump and stuck it in a can of gas. it sucks a little bit of gas up, but it wont get enough to start it i guess.

the easiest way to keep all of your lights, etc. would be to use the stock wiring harness and get rid of the stuff you don't need from the old engine stuff and add anything you might need.

or just scrap it all like me and make a new harness or get a painless wiring kit and go from there

well i know a company that i wired my 72 with, just didnt know if there is like schematics and shit for yotas possibly. figureing which is which is a pain in the ass.

Wiring a carbureted motor is dead simple. You can run with the stock harness, and just tie back anything you don't need. Which will be almost everything.

i will keep that in mind.
