Cool!

I used to have an old LandCruiser FJ60. I pulled out the straight six gasser and put in a Canadian market Toyo 3B four cylinder diesel. I added a turbo that I got on fleaBay and it ran great. If anything it accelerated faster with the new engine, and it improved my FE from 14 mpg to 25 mpg --Great Success!

Good luck with your project -- and it sounds great -- like a real truck!
