ok, so moving along now.......
you wouldn't believe how many black widows came dropping out of this car after I hosed it down with spider spray. 8 big fat ones total!!!!!
but anyhow it's ready to have the engine removed once I can find some friggin time. but anyway. I was doing some measurements and came to a realizaation. I might be able to just flip the stock 1uz mounts around from rh to lh, then that would change the mounting position 1.181" or 30mm which is the same as the thickness of the adaptor plate. I think this would eliminate the need for custom mounts. has anyone tried this? or is the angle different at the end.
here's a drawing I made after getting the numbers with the cmm.
any ideas?

you free this weekend? i have some ideas.
and do you want me to bring any of my extra exhaust piping over?

Ummmmmmm cmm's are typically acurate within .0001" all day long thank you. (that's a difference of .040 on the hole sizes)
It's so you can't reverse the mounts....... I plan on drilling the hole out bigger so I can reverse them.

Keep in mind blocks are going to have +- tolerences, personally I'd allow at least +.5mm on the holes for the mounts.
well, they can't be reversed for a -89 supra. the angle is wrong.
oh well... would have been convienant.
as for the tolerences, they're already about .03 to .06 bigger than the bolt so it's pretty wide open there.

Here's some eye candy. I'm too tired to post more right now.
These are temporary till I get some aluminum ones made up.
1uzfe sweetness comin right up.

they're 3/8" thick. But I plan on making the base at least 1/2" thick when I make the 1 piece aluminum mounts.
hmm 1 piece mounts?? why not just have them welded together? or is one piece stronger? and why aluminum? not mild steel?
1 piece would be stronger, and aluminum is way lighter, and it looks better. Especially if you anodize them.
so here's the latest update.
I am almost finished with the plate. I still have to mill a relief on the backside, but besides that it's finished. One thing I'm going to have to mention here is that the plans that are for sale on e-bay aren't very accurate. the only thing they actually got right was the centering to the shaft. other than that whan I compared they're drawing to my cmm report most of their holes barely lined up...... just enough so that the bolts would barely clear. Hardly acceptable for me..... So, I'm very happy I went off of my own numbers because everything matches up very well.
if you notice the extra holes in the plate it's because it started life as a fixture plate that I pulled from the scrap heap at work.
and btw can we say laser cut teflon tb gasket?

if you want to pay for ebay junk made in china. plus it's not the whole kit, so no biggie. We were just discussing that the other day, andbasically he dosen't really seem to care about the china mounts.(although he had a few choice words to say) and from what it looks like to me, it hasn't effected business at all. if anything it's been picking up. 
on another note, hey zum, what do you do with your car anyway? drift grip or drag?

Nothing too spectacular. It'll always be a touring car and cruiser to me.
With all the money i have in the motor i should have went with a 5M-GE (inside joke.) lol
All of those "sports" require a dedicated "race" car and right now; I just want to enjoy it.
