An engine sold on ebay in OZ a few weeks ago for $6300 IIRC. That was complete with wiring harness and ECU. It was for a manual IIRC. (Probably a lot cheaper in Japan)
There is a fair bit of interest over here in using this engine in an 80 series and also in a Nissan Patrol. The patrols have a very strong driveline so the engine would make them work well.
I think you could do it easily enough if you picked one up from a wrecked "Sahara", which is our top of the line spec cruiser. That way the ECU/harness would most likely interface with your vehicles which are spec'd fairly highly from the start. So price wise, I think you could do it for a lot less than stated above, and the engine coming from Japan would probably be the easiest transport option.

I am very ignorant about diesel, I was under the impression that all diesels were 24V systems?
Pretty much all the reading I've done on the subject pertained to 40 series so that may explain it.
