I'm putting a 2.6 into my 1980 LUV 4x4 and last night as I was installing it, I cant seem the get the motor to sit where it should on the motor mounts. the stud on the mounts won't go into the hole. I'm using the 2.6 mounts and bolted them to the LUV so i'm wondering if maybe where the 2.6 mounted in the trooper was wider than where the LUV mounts? I'm not really sure what's going on here. also I used a 2.3 oil pan for clearance and unfortunately it appears to be hitting the front differential. not sure if that could have something to do with it cause I was told specifically to use the 2.3 oil pan for clearance on the 4x4. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!

well I figured it out last night. There's a smaller hole on the motor mounts which is basically a line up pin and if you drill the smaller hole the same size as the bigger hole you can use that one instead and it worked perfectly. Also the pan that I had used was from a 2wd 2.3. I need a 4x4. Gonna try to put the 2.6 4x4 pan in tonight. I will keep you updated
