No one. Like you said, it's not cost effective. I'd go with a Cummins motor long before I'd go with a non-US motor that you likely won't be able to source parts for. Last I knew on the 80 series the 4BT swap was running $10-12k including the labor to have someone else do it. Even then, the fuel efficiency of a diesel motor vs. the 2UZ isn't THAT great. I can buy a lot of premium for 10 grand. And if a blown motor is driving the swap, a low mile 2UZ with a newer 5 speed tranny is still a lot less.
