Cool beans: a 4-8-4(?) Maybe you'd be willing to share some info on this. It would probably be of interest to those of us who like doing this sort of stuff...

Mark,
This conversion was for a U.P. 4-8-2. The bracket used to hold the motor was the smaller one for the open frame motor. One needs to use the shorter length Pittman 9xy3 types for it to fit. The Toyota tube I believe is part#
90999-92002. I have heard of others just to their auto parts store using wiper tubing. The screws are 6-32 1/4” length. Wiring is the same as the open frame motor. And that’s about. No drilling and no special machining.
i still need to add the safety wire that holds the mid portion of the motor in place— another idea I believe from bob2.
hope this helps.
