Plenty of engines available, except that I would need to keep the injection system for compliances. Bloke almost fell of his chair when I said it needs to stay injected. Engine with decent injection system starts at around the $10k mark. Fark that! Id rather sell mine for spares and buy a newer Hilux! Thanks for the reference though. And NO, they do not fit. Just have to do some more homework then eh.

Im trying to find someone (workshop) that has done a swap before so I can get an accurate costing. Ive had estimates from $4k if I do a heap of the work myself (Im willing to do that) up to $10k two in drive out. It aint worth spending $10k on, $4-$5k Im willing to do.
