Isuzu 4HE1 Swap

Really want to do a diesel swap into my FJ60 and so I'm doing my research. I stopped by the local wrecking yard and they had an Isuzu 4HE1 available. This an automatic version (I undersand there is a difference between the auto and manual version of the engine).

I know very little about this engine other than the specs sound great to me. Additionally, this particular engine only has less than 40K miles on it. So I have lots of questions. I saw some mention in the 1BD1T swap thread, but didn't want to sidetrack that thread.

Anyhow, here are some questions. Feel free to add info that I didn't even think of.

Here are some of the questions. First of all, is this a good motor and will it fit? Any problem with exhaust (I heard it's on the opposite side of 2F). What are my transmission choices? Can this be mated to a 700R4 tranny? Also, how much electronics are on this motor?

I'm sure there are lots of things I haven't thought of that hopefully others will chime in with.

Thanks everyone,
