My suggestion is to compare both vehicles and if the BJ60 is in better overall condition then go for that one, although you have to consider price. Or if you really have your heart set on the HJ60 then either wait for another one to come up or try searching for one in another province. How much is in your budget to spend ?
If you buy a decent BJ60 you can always add a turbo. If you're mechanically inclined you can build up a kit yourself or you can buy kits with everything you need to bolt it right up with no problems. These kits run about $2000-2500....
Keep us up to date as to what you do.

Thanks for the suggestion. As I mentioned before, the HJ60 with the 2H is already turbo'd. The one with the 3B isn't. So what I'm wondering is how the 3B with a turbo added will compare to the 2H with turbo.
So essentially, it's between:
- a BJ60 with a better overall condition frame but the less powerful (and IMO) less desirable 3B motor
or...
- an HJ60 with a somewhat rusty frame and body with more power of the 2H with turbo.
In terms of price, the 3B guy is asking 8k where as the 2H guy 6k.
Oh the dilemma...
